Welcome to the new home of the Online Ethics Center (OEC) at the University of Virginia! The site is currently under construction. We look forward to engaging with you in the coming months when we launch the Teaching Ethics Forum; continue the series, “Bringing Ethics into the Conversation;” and introduce a new OEC publishing opportunity. These are exciting times for the OEC, anticipating new opportunities for drawing on OEC ethics resources for learning, teaching, discussing, and collaborating within the growing OEC community.

As we work to roll out the new Online Ethics Center, if you need help accessing material that was available on the former site, please contact OnlineEthics@virginia.edu for assistance.

The OEC (Online Ethics Center) will soon launch a new “Teaching Ethics Forum.” This interactive feature of the site will host special events such as case discussion groups, virtual subject matter roundtables, podcasts, lecture series, and syllabi design workshops. OEC curates a wealth of teaching resources in support of those who are seeking to incorporate ethics into their engineering, science and social science classes, for those who have already begun to teach ethics, and for seasoned ethics scholars. The “Teaching Ethics Forum” will function as an active space where faculty can exchange ideas, ask questions, and incubate potential collaborations in ethics instruction and research.

The website was maintained by the National Academy of Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences from 2007 to September 30, 2020, and is currently operated by the University of Virginia, an unaffiliated entity. Opinions expressed on this website are those of the authors.
