COURSE REFLECTION
Summary of what was done
For the six weeks allotted for this online course, we’ve discussed a lot of topics and done a lot of activities. In this
short period, we managed to finish the course syllabus given to us during our first meeting. For the first week, we
discussed “Catalysts for change,” and we’ve done a discussion, a quiz, and a case study. For the second week, we
discussed “Introduction to IT Ethics,” and we’ve done a quiz, a case study, and the Preliminary examination. For the third
week, we discussed “Network Communication and Intellectual Property,” and we’ve done a discussion and a case study.
For the fourth week, we discussed “Information Privacy and Computer Network Society,” we started doing part 1 of our
Final project (Audio-Visual Presentation), we’ve done an assignment and the Midterm Examination. For the fifth week, we
discussed “Computer Reliability,” we’ve done an assignment, and we finished Part one of our Final Project, which is the
Audio-Visual Presentation. And lastly, for the sixth week, we discussed “Professional Ethics, and Work and Wealth,” we’ve
done part two of our final project, which is the Audio-Visual Presentation. We also have done an assignment and the Final
Examination. The six weeks given to us may be short, but we still managed to finish the modules in our canvas, and that is
because of the consistency of our professor, Ms. Arceli Salo.
New Learning
Upon finishing the six modules for six weeks, I’ve learned a lot of things that I can use not only in the world of
information technology but also in my future jobs and my everyday life. From module one, my knowledge has expanded
about how our technology improves through the years. Though I have a background in the history of computers and our
technology from our ICT and Computer programming subject, my knowledge has further widened after finishing this
module one. From module two, I’ve learned about the different ethical theories that are used to evaluate and analyze a
given scenario. From module three, I’ve learned about the two types of censorship, which are direct censorship, and selfcensorship. My knowledge about intellectual property and copyright has widened. From module four, I’ve learned about
data privacy and my rights regarding my personal information and data, which I can use to protect my personal information
online from online thieves and offline from those people who have a grudge towards me. From module five, I’ve learned
how a software error might cause troubles, such as the issue about Therac 25, which had lead 3 out of 6 patients to death
due to the software error that caused the patients to have overdosed. From module six, I’ve learned about professional
ethics. I’ve learned about the five fundamental principles (Integrity, Objectivity, Confidentiality, Due care, and Professional
behavior) to practice whenever there is an ethical dilemma, which I can use for my future professions. Overall, for the six
weeks of discussion, I’ve learned lots of things that are necessary for my everyday life and future jobs.
Personal Reaction / Reflection
As we finished this online course, I realized that technology and the online world are much broader than I’ve
thought. Taking up this online course helped me to further understand the things that were thought to us from our ICT
subject back in high school. This also helped me to be aware of what is happening in the world of technology and the
online world. I’ve learned a lot from this online course and our professor, Ms. Salo. I’ve learned a lot from her personal
experience that she shared during the online conferences, which I can use to be a better and more disciplined person in
using technology and being one of the millions and billions of people in the online world.
As a reflection, I will apply the things I learned from this course, especially the fundamental principles we should
practice whenever there is an ethical dilemma. I will always keep in mind my rights to my personal information and data to
protect my data from other people. The six weeks given to us to take up this online course may be short, but I have
learned a lot from this subject and our professor Ms. Salo. It was all thanks to Ms. Salo for being consistent and calm in
facilitating this online course.
