Ethicist Role of/for the Design Team

• In Event: CLT- Diverse Formats of Learning (v)

Short Description

This session will provide a literature review on the needs of an ethicist in the Design Team. She/he will implement all moral ideals and obligations in the design process from the beginning to the end. The goal is to provide local and universal moral/ethical guidelines and accountability for the design team. An ethics-centered design model strives for such necessity. Just like “Usability Lead,” “Art Director,” and “Site Editor,” as team members, the Design Ethicist has an essential role in the design process. The duties of the “Design Ethicist” include: analyzing ethical issues, providing consultation, ethics education, and accountability for the whole design team, audience, and stakeholders.
