However, the online learning environment has been extensively studied as aneffective teaching tool if coupled with accurate planning and the effective use of virtual learningsupportive tools (e.g., learning and classroom management software, virtual platformcommunication tools) as well as proper instructional layout [13],[14].

Separate from teachers being uncomfortableregarding ethics, students must be able to trust each other to where they can openly addressethical issues in a group environment. This obstacle is a challenge as Olivia describes how thiscan be addressed by promoting student interaction in advance of an ethical discussion.Lack of Content: Implementing EESI may be obstructed due to a lack of material a teacher caneasily utilize. An example of this obstacle was described by Jeff, who is an engineering teacher: I think that maybe the barrier would be having, at least for me, good material to use… I just make my own lesson plans...

As such, students may have felt obligated torank safety as their highest priority to align with the context of the course. Unintentionally,individuals may wrongly predict their behavior with a phenomenon known as behavioralforecasting [32], [33]. Regardless of context, students may sincerely believe they hold safety astheir priority but lose sight of this when immersed in complex work dilemmas. It is unclear towhat extent these two confounds come into play in how students respond to the reflection due toa lack of further data. In either case, further evidence would
