  • First Online:
Ethical Use of Information Technology in Higher Education

Part of the book series: EAI/Springer Innovations in Communication and Computing ((EAISICC))

Abstract

This paper aims to approach issues related to unethical information technology use in higher education as a theoretical basis for providing practical suggestions on how academic teachers may raise students’ awareness of unethical information technology use. The paper discusses the distinction between ethical and unethical information technology use in the academic teaching-learning-evaluation context; the impact of unethical information technology use on students’ academic and personal life; practical suggestions on how academics may teach students about ethical versus unethical information technology use. Our findings revealed a significant amount of research on the issue of ethical/unethical information technology use. The practical suggestions on how academics may teach students about ethical versus unethical information technology use may be applied by teachers of all specializations, at the start of academic semesters.
