<p><strong>In this episode of ethiCS, we talk to Wesley Long about his work on a tool, AlleyCAT, a dashboard which works with the Allegheny College automated grading system (AGS) </strong><a href="https://github.com/GatorEducator/gatorgrader" target="_blank"><strong>GatorGrader</strong></a><strong>. We explore ethical issues which arise out of using student data for evaluation and the need for ethical systems to report accurate data in ways that are useful to users. In addition, we talk through some of the complicated technical integrations and opportunities which make it possible for instructors to manage, evaluate, and provide insightful feedback about student work both individually and at the scale of an entire class.</strong></p>

ethiCS, Episode 6: Claire Johns
<p><strong>In this episode of ethiCS, we shift gears a bit and explore a project that contemplates systems of information and code – in specific the GitHub – in the context of Library Science. Our conversation revolves around software as a literacy and proposes a critical framework for reading GitHub as a text. We discuss the significance of teaching GitHub through this critical lens and the implications of fully appreciating the responsibility of contributing to software as a student or professional.</strong></p>
