This article discusses the use of online or electronic e-training in ethical behavior and why this training is important to companies their stakeholders and to sustainable company growth. But what are the characteristics of an effective ethics training program? Four components are discussed. One only has to examine the news to learn of the latest unethical episode affecting leaders’ business and personal life. For example, in September 2004, the financial regulatory body of Japan announced the closure of Citigroup’s Private Banking business citing improper trading practices. Prior to this decision Citigroup admitted it erred in a bond deal in Europe which regulators got involved. The importance of ethics training can be seen in the number of ethics issues as they pertain to these examples of flawed reasoning and decision-making by company leaders and continuing today. Research has shown knowledge develops effective interventions that help to discourage unethical decisions (McMahon & Harvey, 2006). While it may be well known that colleges provide online courses, online corporate training for legal compliance is already being used by securities firms to deliver mandatory and highly regulated compliance information to registered representatives (Barnes & Blackwell, 2004).

Businesses nowadays face urgent demands to act ethically and socially responsibly. Some believe that ethically responsible companies design and use corporate governance that serves all stakeholders' interests to achieve competitive advantage and maintaining ethical behavior is very important through corporate governance. Thus, an ethical business environment is critical and ethical behavior is expected of everyone in the modern workplace. Companies devote many resources and training programs to make sure their employees live according to the high ethical standards. This study used Clark and Clark's (1966) Personal Business Ethics Scores (PBES) measure to examine the relationship between gender, age, management experience, ethics course taken, and ethics training to ethical maturity of Thai working adults. This research surveyed 236 Thai working adults to measure their Personal Business Ethics Scores (PBES). Statistically significant differences were found in the variables of ethics course taken and ethics training. Gender, age, and management experience, however, did not lead to any significant differences. Consequently, Kohlberg's Cognitive Moral Development theory regarding ethical maturity is partly supported since respondents with more ethics education and training have higher business ethics scores than those without ethics education and training. In this study, Thai background and cultural dimension, as well as literature on moral development and ethics, are presented along with practical applications, suggestions and implications for educators, managers, and employees.

It is the intelligence that has the force to help people use their actions and lives in a wider, richer and meaning-giving context. Moreover, promoting the ethical values, most of the organizations focus on ethics training programs aimed at increasing employee’s ethical behavior in organization. Thus, the paper finally suggests that employee unethical behavior in an organization can be solved through SQ and ethical values in organization.

Community colleges continue to experience tremendous growth in online courses. This growth reflects the need to increase the numbers of students who complete certificates or degrees. Retaining online students, not to mention assuring their success, is a challenge that must be addressed through practical institutional responses. By leveraging the huge volumes of existing student information, higher education institutions can build statistical models, or learning analytics, to forecast student outcomes. This is a case study from a community college utilizing learning analytics and the development of predictive models to identify at-risk students based on dozens of key variables.

Using Data

Academic research in the past decade has indicated that using data and analyzing learning in curriculum design decisions can lead to improved student performance and student success. As learning in many instances has evolved into the flexible format online, anywhere at any time, learning analytics could potentially provide impactful insights into student engagement in massive open online courses (MOOCs). These may contribute to early identification of “at risk” participants and provide MOOC facilitators, educators, and learning designers with insights on how to provide effective interventions to ensure participants meet the course learning outcomes and encourage retention and completion of a MOOC. This chapter uses the essential human biology MOOC within the Australian AdelaideX initiative to implement learning analytics to investigate and compare demographics of participants, patterns of navigation including participation and engagement for passers and non-passers in two iterations of the MOOC, one instructor-led, and second self-paced.

This paper investigates the ethical environment in which tax professionals operate by eliciting practicing tax professionals' personal experiences with ethical dilemmas in tax engagements. Since organizational culture can play a role in creating an environment where ethical decision making is encouraged (Arnold et al. 1999, 2000; Booth and Schulz 2004), we expected that tax professionals' self-identified ethical dilemmas would be related to their assessments of the ethical environments of their firms. Based on 146 responses from practicing tax professionals, most participants rated their ethical environment as very strong. Additionally, the 84 participants who did not describe a self-identified ethical dilemma rated the ethical environment of their firms significantly stronger than the 62 who reported a dilemma. Implications of this study include an emphasis on in-house ethics training and explicitly including rewards and sanctions regarding ethical behavior in performance evaluation systems.
