[Sigifp-l] Workshop for 2017 ASIST Annual Meeting

Fri Mar 17 22:56:55 EDT 2017

Hi all,

Another idea might be to advertise that participants will achieve a
specific outcome for teaching in the area of information ethics. Something
like generating assignments to use in classes or recent case
studies/exercises.

I've also reached out to a contact at EFF and will see what he says.
