摘要：This case study describes the Virtual Philosopher, a series
of digital learning objects which were created as a Socratic method activity for
online ethics courses. Each Virtual Philosopher is a scenario- based, active learning exercise designed to foster
students’ reflective analysis and application of previously introduced course
concepts. The pedagogical aims of these learner-centered objects are increased
student metacognition, development of students’ logical abilities, and formative
self-assessment of students’ moral reasoning. After reviewing students’
evaluation of the Virtual Philosopher exercises, suggestions for improvement of
these learning objects will be discussed.
