Beginner
Intermediate

Please select a level. A Beginner-level case is aimed at learners who have not had much experience in engaging with complex ethical topics, and usually focuses on only one or two dimensions of a dilemma. An Advanced-level case is aimed at learners who have had previous practice in engaging with ethical situations, and often addresses multiple levels of complexity. An Intermediate case is somewhere in between.

Educational aim (select one) *

Becoming Ethically Aware: Determining that a single situation can be considered from an ethical point of view.
Becoming Ethically Sensitive: Being broadly cognizant of ethical issues and having the ability to see how these issues might affect others.
Gaining Ethical Knowledge: Knowing the sets of rules, theories, concepts, frameworks, and statements of duty, rights, or obligations that inform ethical attitudes, behaviours, and practices.
Practicing Ethical Analysis: Engaging in a process through which ethical issues are defined, affected parties and consequences are identified, so that relevant moral principles can be applied to a situation in order to determine possible courses of action.
Practicing Ethical Reasoning: Applying critical analysis to specific events in order to evaluate and respond to problems in a fair and responsible way.
Engaging in Ethical Judgement: Reaching moral decisions and providing the rationale for those decisions.
Becoming Ethically Motivated: Committing to ethical action because of a moral judgement.
