Assessment details
Research subject
You are asked to write a report on one of the biggest ethical dilemmas facing the IT industry in the current
year. In this report you will need to include the following important aspects:
• Define and explain the issue - avoid injecting your personal bias when describing the issue.
• Detail who is likely being impacted by these concerns (a list of stakeholders invested in the issue must
be included).
• What is the key ethical dilemma in the problem, and are there other ethical issues as well?
• What are some possible ramifications of the ethical issues?
• Explain your proposed solutions and discuss the expected associated outcomes.
Discovering a relevant and good topic is part of the assignment. It needs to be done by considering the
multiple topics available to you. Choose one according to your interests.
Structure your report
When writing a report, the intention is to present the findings made after carrying out research about a
particular subject. It is to present investigation results in an area of interest as well as to demonstrate the
ability to analyse information. In order to address the identified problems or improve the current state of
affairs, reports often make recommendations for actions or changes. It is highly recommended that you visit
RMIT University’s guidelines on report writing website before starting to write the report.
The report is expected to be highly structured, using the following titled and numbered sections:
1. Introduction: Give an overview of the topic and give the reader an idea of what the paper contains
and how it is structured. It is not intended to replicate the analysis, nor necessarily list out proposed
solutions.
2. Background Analysis: Use the following framework to perform an analysis and write the results as
coherent paragraph structured for a formal report.
- List the known relevant facts
- Identify the stakeholders
- Discuss the duties and obligations of each of the stakeholders involved
- Identify ethical values and social impacts
3. Legal Recourse Available in Australia: If someone suffers adversely as a result of the use of
technology within your chosen topic, what legal recourse is available in Australia? Consider questions
such as:
- Who is legally responsible for the negative consequences and why?
- Who is obligated to ensure no harm can come to those who use this technology, or are involved
in this situation?
- If there is no specific law to deal with the issue, what could be done?

4. Proposed Solutions: Think of at least two, and preferably more, possible solutions that may help in
solving the underlying issue. Explain your answer, e.g., why do you think these solutions might work?
Explain the expected consequences.
5. Case Study: Write a case study outlining a situation where the aggravated parties in your scenario
have suffered from the underlying ethical issues. Be creative here; come up with names, situations and
events that happen within the scenario. Apply your previously proposed solutions and discuss where
they may assist victims.
6. Conclusion: The conclusion should give a quick overview of the topics and findings as well as the
suggested solutions. It may also contain suggestions for future analysis.
7. Bibliography
- List all references used in your arguments.
- Referencing is necessary for any claim in the report that is not considered to be common
knowledge.
- A modified version of RMIT Harvard referencing style must be used (refer to the Referencing
section).
8. Appendix
- A URL to a publicly available Google Drive shared folder (refer to the Referencing section)
- Word count of your essay, excluding the Bibliography and Complimentary sections.
For more information about what is expected in each of these sections, refer to the RMIT’s Report Writing
Process. You will see that the template shared in the given link consist of additional sections not listed above.
You are not expected to provide the additional sections.
References
A minimum of 10 references must be cited in the article. It is not sufficient to simply add a reference to the
Bibliography section, that is, each reference must be cited at least once in the body of your essay to be
considered as a valid reference.
A minimum of 4 references must strictly be from peer-reviewed journal/conference articles. The rest of
references can be books, journal/conference articles, reports/standards by reputable
publishers/organisations. Other types of references are not acceptable (e.g. random news websites/blogs,
Wikipedia articles). The peer-reviewed articles must be written in bold font in the Bibliography section so
that they can be easily distinguished from the other sources.

Referencing guidelines
The Bibliography section must use a modified version of RMIT Harvard referencing style. That is, you must
also add page numbers to the citations, which is not part of RMIT Harvard style. The Easy Cite tool by RMIT
Library can help you to learn how RMIT Harvard referencing is used. Make sure all the citations you have
contains the relevant page number.
Submission format
Use Microsoft Word or similar. The assessment will be submitted in Canvas as a file upload.
Academic integrity and plagiarism
Academic integrity is about honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging the work
of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas.
You should take extreme care that you have:
• Acknowledged words, data, diagrams, models, frameworks and/or ideas of others you have quoted
(i.e. directly copied), summarised, paraphrased, discussed or mentioned in your assessment through
the appropriate referencing methods
• Provided a reference list of the publication details so your reader can locate the source if necessary.
This includes material taken from Internet sites
If you do not acknowledge the sources of your material, you may be accused of plagiarism because you
have passed off the work and ideas of another person without appropriate referencing, as if they were your
own.
RMIT University treats plagiarism as a very serious offence constituting misconduct.
Plagiarism covers a variety of inappropriate behaviours, including:
• Failure to properly document a source
• Copyright material from the internet or databases
• Collusion between students
For further information on our policies and procedures, please refer to the University website.
