Abstract
Case-based ethics teaching is common in many disciplines, including in ICT. What is needed is a systematic approach that learners can employ to discover solutions to the ethical dilemmas raised in case studies. The Doing Ethics Technique has been used widely in tertiary teaching of ICT ethics in Australia. Its use in teaching masters students, all of whom were industry practitioners, is explored in this article, both from a teacher's and student's perspective. It was found to have limitations, including overlapping process questions and no independent assessment of the efficacy of ethical solutions that result from it. However, overall it was found to be effective in helping students to follow a systematic and relatively simple process to deriving good, though not necessarily the best, ethical solutions.
