Evaluating and Assessing Tech Ethics Education
PIT educators lack tools to evaluate their pedagogy. Our work at a public polytechnic university (NJIT) and two PIT-UN institutions (Harvard & Stanford) will yield first-of-their-kind evaluation tools that can be deployed across diverse institutions for tech ethics pedagogical improvement.

Principal Investigators

Danielle Allen, James Bryant Conant University Professor and Director, Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, and Jeff Behrends, Director of Ethics and Technology Initiatives
