متطلبات الإكمال
Unit
9 examines the evolving ethical challenges faced by language educators in the
digital age, where technology and AI are increasingly integrated into teaching
and learning. It explores the responsible use of digital tools, the
implications of unequal access (the digital divide), and the complexities of
maintaining professional ethics in online environments. The unit also addresses
issues such as academic integrity, virtual classroom behavior, and cultural
sensitivity in digital instruction. Through critical reflection and applied
discussion, students will develop an ethical framework for navigating the
opportunities and risks of technology-enhanced language education.
4. Online Teaching Ethics and Virtual Classroom Management
Online
teaching raises new ethical dilemmas: ·
Student privacy: Is the platform secure? Are
lessons recorded ethically? ·
Consent: Have students agreed to be recorded or use
webcams? ·
Engagement and care: Are students monitored for signs
of stress or disengagement? Ethical
virtual teaching requires balancing accountability with empathy. 💡 Tip: Teachers should
clarify expectations early and communicate guidelines on respectful digital
interaction.
