A wiki-based active learning system; how to enhance learning material in epistemology of computer science and computer ethics

This paper presents a seminal work in preparing lecture notes in epistemology of computer science and computer ethics through an open source personal wiki system engine. Our course of epistemology of computer science and computer ethics aims at making graduate students think about the fundamentals of the discipline as a science and as a profession, so we encourage a 'learning by doing' approach. Preliminary results of the comparison between a standard word processor-based and a wiki-based lecture notes system are given.
