heal.abstract	In this paper we demonstrate our methodology and architecture for teaching a computer ethics course within an e-learning environment. This work is an initial step towards an autonomous module, which aims to improve students' ethical decision making. Despite the debate on whether such a topic can be taught and consequently influence the students' ethical behavior, we argue that such training can create the necessary familiarity with ethical issues and develop awareness on cases that might include possible ethical issues., In addition, the proposed analysis path helps students handle and analyze such issues, thus improving their critical thinking and ethical decision making.	en
