Responsible Computing Curricula - How do we do it?

Come check out the Playbook on developing Responsible Computing Curricula and brainstorm with us. Meet the contributors and learn from examples from a range of topics as a team of faculty around the United States worked together to integrate responsibility and ethics in computing. The playbook is one output of the Responsible Computer Science Challenge, an initiative that has funded 19 colleges and universities over the last 2 years to integrate ethics and responsibility into computing curricula (responsiblecs.org).

Check out the playbook here, featuring the following topics:

Join the Global Teaching Responsible Computing Community of Practice: https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/what-we-fund/awards/responsible-computer-science-challenge/resources/


We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:

We will invite people to join the Responsible Computing Global Community of Practice. We will also share an open call to contribute to the Playbook.

How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:

If there is a smaller group, it will be a more open discussion. If a bigger group, we will have a presentation and more structured Q&A.

What is the goal and/or outcome of your session?:

Share outcomes from the Responsible Computer Science Challenge. Specifically, we are really excited to share the Playbook, which focuses on how different universities have integrated ethics into their curricula, from classroom content to convincing deans to managing teaching teams to talking about justice and equity in the classroom.
