focus primarily on mobile applicationdevelopment itself. These students, the makers of the future mobile technology, who areinvolved in app creation – from defining the concept to requirements gathering, to finalimplementation – takes into consideration how the app will work successfully and effectively.However, their design decisions are not always made thinking about how the application willinfluence the user, the community, and the society at large. To address this critical issue, in thispaper, we report our experience with weaving the notion of social and ethical computing whiledesigning and developing an upper-level computer science course on mobile questionnairedevelopment. Our primary course goals were twofold: 1) Teach students the

isolationusing the currently available data. An independent control group with the exact same conditionsexcept for the “programming without computer” experience could enable more reliable statisticalinferences. However, since this technique has indicated significant improvements on students’performance and learning experience, it would not be ethically justifiable to eliminate thisexperience in a future course for the purpose of having a control group. Nonetheless, an improvedstudy design will be incorporated in our future study to more accurately and specifically investigatethe effect of this technique on students’ performance and learning experience in computerprogramming.As a side note, since using cell phones is typically forbidden during class time

on ethical, economic, anddesign method issues.As might be expected, some students resisted the design processes described here as “a completewaste of time”. Students argued that designers are “born, not created”. Many examples from theliterature to support quantitatively the effectiveness of development process were given incounter argument. Students are asked to follow the prescribed procedure for a few weeks. Apromise to discuss, evaluate, and incorporate any suggested improvements usually swaysstalwart resistors (this is an excellent way to give students ownership and responsibility of theirown learning). After the first design milestone during one semester, an elated team gave a class-time testimonial about how the design process and
