This document provides guidelines for a computer ethics advocacy campaign project for third year semi-honors students. Students must create an advocacy infomercial promoting their stance on a computer ethics topic they have learned about. The infomercial will include an audio version using GarageBand, a video version using iMovie, and a proposal presentation using Keynote. Students will be given class time to work on the project and are expected to complete writing and recording outside of class. The project requirements include a write-up identifying the issue and outlining the campaign's mission and objectives, infomercials targeting radio and television audiences, and a proposal. The project aims to demonstrate skills learned in computer class.
