COMM 352 Emerging Technologies and Ethical Practices
This course focuses on emerging technologies and the ways that ethical issues and controversies influence tool design and authorship. Students examine ethical questions in order to develop insight into the implementation of technological innovation, and evaluate approaches in applied ethics. With hands-on exercises and experiential approaches, students investigate the design incentives of developing technologies. Students design project proposals that demonstrate the ways that emerging technologies can serve as tools for empowerment and social change. No previous experience with technology is necessary.
