Samenvatting

Higher educational institutions incorporate projects into their
curricula, in which students, together with educators, researchers and
professionals from practice, try to find solutions for real, societal problems,
to develop relevant skills. Because such solutions are increasingly digital with
high impact on society, ethical responsibility is an important part of these
skills. In this study, we analyze two cases of digital innovation projects in
higher education in which the concept of the Ethical Matrix is adapted and
integrated in a Value Sensitive Design approach and applied by educators
(case 1) and by students (case 2). We find that an adapted version of the
Ethical Matrix supports educators and students in taking values of different
types of stakeholders into account which leads to different design choices.
