About

Welcome to the VSD Coop. Coop is short for cooperative. A cooperative is an autonomous group of people mobilizing around a common set of aspirations or concerns.

This coop is for anyone and everyone seeking and interested ways to bring together concerns for human values, moral, and/or ethics to technical education (e.g., design, computer science, engineering, media arts). Our goal is to build a space to share educational resources (e.g., syllabi, class activities, presentations, project prompts, design studies, to name a few), and to help catalyze an ecosystem an ecosystem around these resources and practices. We are especially interested in educational resources related to Value Sensitive Design, but all sympathetic approaches are welcome. These include, but are not limited to:

Typically, coops are jointly owned and democratically controlled. As such, the coop is organized on a wiki. This means anyone is welcome to contribute content and resources, as well as edit existing content. We would love for the Coop to be as useful a resource as possible to as many people as possible. As such, when you are adding resources to the Coop, please use our style guide as a reference for what to include.
