RUIZ PIEDRA, Alina María  e  GOMEZ MARTINEZ, Freddy. Educational software and the ethical principles. Educ Med Super [online]. 2013, vol.27, n.2, pp.160-165. ISSN 0864-2141.

The process of creation of educational software requires the involvement of several sciences to achieve a quality result, that is, requires interdisciplinarity. In over six years of work, the research/action group of the national project for the production of educational software in the higher medical education, known as Galenomedia, found out that the most analyzed aspects in educational software-linked research projects, publications and Master of Sciences' theses had been informatics, pedagogy and sciences; however, the analysis of ethical aspects that may also establish important guidelines for the development of this type of software had been frequently neglected. The present paper was intended to make reflections on some of the ethical principles that should be borne in mind in creating and using educational software in the field of health care, in order to support the improvement of this process and the better formation of health professionals.

Palavras-chave : infoethics; educational software; informatic ethics.
