Playing The Ethics Card: Ethical Aspects In Design Tools For Inspiration And Education

This paper relates findings of own research in the domain of co-design tools in terms of ethical aspects and their opportunities for inspiration and in HCI education. We overview a number of selected general-purpose HCI/design tools as well as domain specific tools for the Internet of Things. These tools are often card-based, not only suitable for workshops with co-designers but also for internal workshops with students to include these aspects in the built-up of their expertise, sometimes even in a playful way.
