The main thesis of the text is that the activity of design is ethics in action, and what we do and do not plan in our designs reflects how robust our professional concept of ethics is. To highlight ethics as a design activity, we will present a framework for thinking about ethics in educational technology in an applied, practical manner and how it relates to the instructional design process using models in the field. While we will review a host of topics that fall under the domain of “ethics”, these topics will be brought together under a design model or framework that positions ethics at the core of decision making processes that comprise professional instructional design – what we term “ethics as design.” Current approaches to ethics position the topic as a way of thinking through complex problems and systems to synthesize conscientious solutions that satisfy an array of criteria and objectives beyond standard learning objectives.
