“But surely it’s harmless?”

Tips and techniques on creating interactive scenarios using an

ethics training example

Ethics Training Necessary for all who conduct research on

human participants All Tertiary Institutions engaged in research

have ethic training programmes Ethics training can be problematic:

Ethics is not a clear-cut subject Case studies used but staff don’t see the relevance

to THEIR particular discipline Staff see no need for ethics training at all

Main Objectives

To produce a media-rich interactive scenario for use in ethics training

Document scenario development, to gain insight on “best practice”

Make scenario available to TEI’s for amendment and/or use
