Ethics and Internet Research Commons:  Building a sustainable future

DESCRIPTION

This full-day workshop is designed to accomplish three goals:  First, workshop leaders will present case studies to review key ethical challenges and identify important components of ethical decision making.  Second, participants work with workshop leaders in small groups to brainstorm solutions to ethical challenges in their own projects.  Third, members from the AOIR Ethics Committee will present and discuss the newly revised AOIR Ethics Guidelines.

This pre-conference workshop continues AOIR's efforts to build and promote flexible and adaptive learning communities that engage in a dialogic evolution of ethical research practice.  More specifically, this workshop will train individuals to be capable contributors in the Internet Research Ethics Commons, a National Science Foundation (US) sponsored online resource community that provides troubleshooting and advice for researchers who encounter ethical stumbling blocks in their projects.
