    And Ethics for All: Integrating Values and Ethics for a Diverse Undergraduate Curriculum
    (2013-04) Hook, Sara Anne; Lykins, Beth
    This presentation will move from a macro level of considering values and ethics across the undergraduate curriculum to a more targeted discussion of how professional ethics are covered in individual courses, finally culminating in a discussion of how ethics can be applied in a cross-disciplinary manner. The presenters will showcase the course content and homework assignments that they use to teach values and ethics in their individual courses as well as their team-taught course and provide suggestions for how to assess whether their courses have impacted student learning or shaped student beliefs about values and ethics.

    A code of ethics for health care ethics consultants: Journey to the present and implications for the field
    (Taylor and Francis, 2015-05) Tarzian, Anita J.; Wocial, Lucia D.; IU School of Nursing
    For decades a debate has played out in the literature about who bioethicists are, what they do, whether they can be considered professionals qua bioethicists, and, if so, what professional responsibilities they are called to uphold. Health care ethics consultants are bioethicists who work in health care settings. They have been seeking guidance documents that speak to their special relationships/duties toward those they serve. By approving a Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibilities for Health Care Ethics Consultants, the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities (ASBH) has moved the professionalization debate forward in a significant way. This first code of ethics focuses on individuals who provide health care ethics consultation (HCEC) in clinical settings. The evolution of the code's development, implications for the field of HCEC and bioethics, and considerations for future directions are presented here.

    "Just Because You Can Doesn't Mean You Should": Practitioner Perceptions of Learning Analytics Ethics
    (JHU Press, 2019) Jones, Kyle M. L.; Library and Information Science, School of Informatics and Computing
    Learning analytics involve the process of gathering data about students and using the information to intervene in their lives to improve learning and institutional outcomes. Many academic libraries now participate in learning analytics. However, such practices raise privacy and intellectual freedom issues due to sensitive data practices. But, few research studies address how library practitioners perceive the ethical issues. This article does so by analyzing interviews with library practitioners. The findings suggest that library professionals seek ethical "bright lines"—that is, clearly defined standards—where few exist and that ethical guidance is limited. Though library practitioners recognize that data practices should be scoped and justified, their efforts have come under severe scrutiny—and sometimes harassment—from their professional peers. The article highlights why ethical dissonance has emerged in the profession regarding learning analytics and how library practices might better account for the harms and benefits of learning analytics.

    Learning Analytics and the Academic Library: Professional Ethics Commitments at a Crossroads
    (ACRL, 2018) Jones, Kyle M. L.; Library and Information Science, School of Informatics and Computing
    In this paper, the authors address learning analytics and the ways academic libraries are beginning to participate in wider institutional learning analytics initiatives. Since there are moral issues associated with learning analytics, the authors consider how data mining practices run counter to ethical principles in the American Library Association’s “Code of Ethics.” Specifically, the authors address how learning analytics implicates professional commitments to promote intellectual freedom; protect patron privacy and confidentiality; and balance intellectual property interests between library users, their institution, and content creators and vendors. The authors recommend that librarians should embed their ethical positions in technological designs, practices, and governance mechanisms.
