Venue: 4A - Neville Alexander Building
Presenter(s): Rob McLaughlin & Paul Prinsloo
Stakeholders in universities have a special responsibility to think before they act. With that responsibility comes a range of questions: Is something possible? Is it feasible? Is it ethical? Is it lawful? Years from now, what is the relative likelihood of the decision to pursue it being seen as wise or foolish? Bring your ethics questions to this session (by submitting them in advance or on the day). Using different perspectives, we’ll explore up to 10 different scenarios involving ethical questions and dilemmas.
Come along to get practical advice or just to stretch your thinking about ethics in teaching and learning, and in relation to the collection and use of student data in institutional and public-facing research as we explore ethical challenges, including more recent emergent issues introduced by GenAI.
