Abstract:- E-learning technologies have extensively been adopted by institutions, such as universities and schools, either as facilitators to traditional teaching methods or as autonomous ones. Teaching material and methods have accordingly been developed for many academic disciplines, especially within the computer science. Since students of computing schools and departments are the most familiar with related technology, they are the most receptive ones to e-learning technology as well. However, not all topics are easy to be implemented within an e-learning environment and taught in online mode. Computer ethics is such a topic which, despite its importance for future professionals in the field, has not benefited from e-learning developments. Although some researchers argue whether computers can assist teaching of such a topic at all, building on some relevant approaches we propose our framework and initial work towards implementing a course on computer ethics within an e-learning environment.
