Corporations have suffered recently from a negative view of the ethics of its business practices. In the Information Technology field, this has lead to Corporate Social Responsibility policies including new “Green IT” initiatives. But ethical duties go beyond environmental responsibilities. Public concerns over the misuse of information in the modern world, especially with the exponential growth of information communication technologies, such as cyberspace, are being loudly expressed. Organizations must effectively train their IT staff in privacy issues. Managers of IT departments must be trained effectively and the universities where they are educated must also seek effective measures. This study will examine how factors, such as learning environment, learning activity, teaching pedagogy, curriculum development, and learning behavior, effect the efficient instruction of ethics. To do this, this study will measure their effects on the development of ethical reasoning, learning effectiveness, and their individual privacy concerns. This study found strengths and weaknesses with both integrated and non-integrated ethics instruction and a strong relationship between social interaction, context, and learning effectiveness.
