Overview

This eBook consists of modules that can be used in courses across the curriculum to achieve the integration of computer ethics into a variety of disciplines.  Because technology is now integrated in courses throughout all disciplines, including those that are online, on-site, and hybrid, it becomes critical for students to use the tool of technology, including the Internet, in an ethical way.
