least two reasons.The Problem of CaricatureThe first point that I want to make is that a quick look at the “three dominant branches ofethical theory” is almost always a caricature. The typical reading list includes primary orsecondary source material from Aristotle for virtue ethics, Jeremy Bentham or J. S. Millfor utilitarianism, and Immanuel Kant for deontology. However, these thinkers are quitecomplex in their thinking, with the result that what is able to be summarized in one ortwo classes is almost certainly misleading. In addition, it is difficult to understand themotivations of such historically removed philosophers, with the result that one oftentakes their views to be ridiculous and easily dismissed. For instance, Aristotleinfamously
appearedheterogeneous in style and argumentation. A few checks revealed plagiarism and going into detailrevealed even more. 22 After contacting the S¨uddeutsche Zeitung (SZ), one of the importantGerman daily newspapers, the SZ published the story asking zu Guttenberg to comment theaccusation. His statement, which was a full denial, was part of the article which started the affair.A few days later the online platform Guttenplag Wiki was published, inviting the community toparticipate via swarm intelligence to search for more instances of plagiarism. 10 The results of 45days of searching is given in the two following pictures (see timestamp of 03 April 2011).

increase in the engagementratings for each of the four different presentation formats associated with the percentage of livewebinars a had student participated in. That means an increase in webinar participation wasassociated with an increase in their engagement ratings. Framed in the negative perspective,there was a decrease in the engagement ratings associated with a decrease in the number ofwebinars a student participated in. This study cannot deduce a causative relationship betweenwhether a student was disengaged because they did not (or could not) participate in a livewebinar, or did whether they chose to not participate in a live webinar because they weregenerally a disengaged learner, or if it was due to some other causal factor(s) (Lumgair
stakeholders, and a concurrent lack ofinfluence offered by more abstracted stakeholders. Another interpretation of this finding suggests that ethics in these teams was directed byand linked to a human-centered orientation. Many students were not able to expand thisorientation beyond overt or clear links between their everyday work and the specific humanstakeholders involved. This finding supports Zoltowski et al.’s (2012) discussion of theimportance of critical experiences in aiding students’ experiences of HCD. Critical experiencesmay include meetings with users or other events that students found transformative to theirthinking about the stakeholders and their user’s experiences. It is difficult to distinguish theorigin of the human-centered
