Part 1 Presentation
During week 10 you will be required to give a brief 5-8 minute presentation to the class explaining the conclusions of your report. You are expected to be an active member of the audience for other student's presentations.
You may use any appropriate presentation technology to support your presentation, but it is up to you to organise anything that is not part of the usual classroom facilities.
Some points to note about your presentation:
You should assume that while the audience is not familiar with the particular case study, they have some knowledge of the fundamentals of Information Technology and Management Information Systems.
Delivery
o Do not read out a prepared speech.
o Do not use slides unless they are needed (tables, graphs, pictures).
o Either use cards (with few words) that are small enough to sit in your hand (business card size is good) or make a sheet with big print headings (and nothing else) and lay it on the table where you can glance at it occasionally.
o Do not block the projector.
Preparation
o Structure your presentation. There is much to be gained from organising what you will say. Make sure you have a suitable introduction and conclusion.
o Prepare your speaker's notes in the form of brief headings, and use these as prompts. If you are familiar with the material (as you ought) then you should be able to talk about it.
o Practice your presentation. If you have not given it out loud (preferably to a friend) you haven't prepared it.
o Slides should support your presentation, not replace it.
o Find an opportunity before your presentation to see how the projection system works.
Part 2 Report Weight
The report question
1) Identify a real or imagined Case Study that presents one or more significant ethical issues to an ICT professional. This Case Study is to be used to complete your assignment. (Note: that the Case Study is not counted towards the word count. Only your analysis will count.)
2) Prepare a report analysing the ethical issues raised in a case study, with recommendations for professional behaviour in both organisational and/or consultancy settings. In the report, describe the relevant case, identify the most pressing ethical issue(s), the stakeholders, possible breaches in standards or behaviour and the consequences. Discuss what you think is the most appropriate action(s).
You must apply the process steps suggested in the text or notes (Lecture 1) to identify the necessary information for the report.
Your report must include:
Cover Page: Include the Title, Student Name and Number, Subject Code
Introduction: A statement of the purpose of the report and a brief description of the report's structure.
Body: (Describe the relevant Case Study, identify the most pressing ethical issue(s), the stakeholders, possible breaches in standards or behaviour and the consequences.)
- Set out the facts in a fair and balanced way.
- List the main stakeholders (i.e. those in a position to be harmed or benefited).
- Record the major ideals that you believe play a role in the decision.
- Which of the criteria are to be emphasised?
- To whom or to what is an obligation owed, and what sort of obligation is it?
- What are the likely consequences for each stakeholder? Major, short term, long term.
- Which actions will harm the stakeholders?
- Which actions will benefit the stakeholders?
- What would each of the stakeholders want to have happen?
- Is there a solution that satisfies all stakeholders? Should any one stakeholder get greater consideration, and why?
- Which actions show care and respect for persons; honour the relevant obligations; and are likely to bring the best balance of consequences to all of those affected.
- What is the best action? What should be done?
