The 2 subtopics
One subtopic is one session. Work down the list.
| Subtopic | What it covers | Questions |
|---|---|---|
| The Four Kinds of Issue in Computing | Recall questions on the individual, social, legal and cultural framing, why the risks are only half the story, and the reach of digital technology. | 11 |
| Legislation, Ethical Dilemmas and Case Studies | Recall questions on the challenges facing legislators, ethical dilemmas such as street imagery, informed consent and facial recognition, algorithmic bias, the digital divide, automation and employment, and evaluating a system's ethics. | 15 |
How the guide is worked
Answering a question from memory stores it far better than reading the answer again. The guide runs that as a fixed procedure on one subtopic at a time, about twenty minutes a session.
-
Step 1 · Closed book
Cover the answers. Work through one subtopic and write down what you can. Leave blanks where you have nothing.
-
Step 2 · Open book
Go back to the top. Read each printed answer and write it out in full, including the ones you had right.
-
Step 3 · Closed book again
Same questions, same order, from memory. The gap between pass one and pass three is the session result.
Read the full method, the return schedule and the research behind it.
