Abstract

Cyberoperations present unique ethical challenges that are often left unaddressed in contemporary approaches to education. Despite an understanding of the technical affordance of network architecture, security protocols, and software vulnerabilities, this in no way guarantees that software developers and cyberoperatives understand or use the ethical affordances of these systems. However, given that the ethical features of cyberspace are defined in terms of both a social and technical context, educational and training activities should be developed in comparable situations. Following a review of the ethical considerations associated with cyberoperations, we consider the use of problem-based learning (PBL) to develop ethical sensemaking competencies. We then consider the adaptations of a task based on PBL (capture-the-flag) for the development of these skills in social simulation studies.
