About:
Technology and Design Practice needs Ethics and the actors involved in the space, our practitioners need reflective tools to learn about their ethical awareness, responsibility, and trajectory. Ethics in practice is heavily dependent on a relational ontology of artifacts in use/ created, ecological aspects, and individual/ interactional qualities of the practitioners. Hence, introducing the A.E.I.O.YOU: Vowels of Ethics toolkit, currently consisting of four tools. The vowels in the A.E.I.O.YOU toolkit describe flavors that evoke and surface various kinds of support needed by technology and design practitioners to investigate:
A--Artifacts for support for practitioner’s ethical engagement.
E--Ecological Factors and Complexity that the practitioner is a part of.
I--Interactions with other practitioners during ethical engagement.
O--Other practitioners and their responsibility in ethical decision making.
YOU--YOU refers to individual practitioners, their ethical awareness, responsibility, and action, both within and beyond ecological, professional role-focused, and disciplinary borders.
