Yes, be moral in instructional design.

As my posting regarding moral and ethics of instructional design, I believe the moral issue is very important. Unfortunately, it is usually neglected. Dr. Osguthorpe mentioned instructional designers are leaders. They should have correct and moral concept while they are doing design. When users interact with instructional materials, their values and concepts have been influenced. It is like videogames and movies. Many people discover kids imitate characters in violent video games and movies.

Even though instructional designing process usually does not involve with violent or too emotional materials, the material itself is somewhat influencing. Since we are interacting with our learners, we should bring current and constructive knowledge to them. Lead people in the right path. The moral codes carry out the righteous intentions. If the intention is right, the product can be modified and modified till it becomes effective. However, nothing is good if the intention is wrong.
