Abstract :
How do ethics apply to computer programming, or to software development? Another question is “How can software design-specifically values-based design-advance the discipline of ethics?” The answer is that techniques used in realizing values in educational computer games can help faculty communities develop statements of values. This article explains how, and recounts the experience of the University of Puerto Rico´s College of Business Administration in crafting, translating, implementing, and challenging a declaration of their common values.
