Open Seminar in Research Ethics (OSRE) is a Web 2.0 approach to Research Ethics Education utilizing an interacting combination of classroom teaching, an online course and online open source based community software. A design overview was presented at the 2008 UNCTLT conference. Since it was developed, OSRE has been utilized in about a dozen courses at 15 universities with an enrollment of more than 400 students. For the 2009 conference, we will be presenting an assessment of the effectiveness of the OSRE methodology based on survey results from faculty and students. Some of the aspects to be assessed are quality and effectiveness in teaching and learning, use in Distance Education, grading paradigms, ease-of-use of software and comparison to other approaches to Research Ethics pedagogy. Design changes and software refactoring resulting from the assessment, including use of Facebook as an impetus to community building, will be discussed.
