There is a need for educational frameworks for computer ethics education. This discussion paper presents an approach to developing students' moral sensitivity, an awareness of morally relevant issues, in project-based learning (PjBL). The proposed approach is based on a study of IT professionals' levels of awareness of ethics. These levels are labelled My world, The corporate world, A shared world, The client's world and The wider world. We give recommendations for how instructors may stimulate students' thinking with the levels and how the levels may be taken into account in managing a project course and in an IS department. Limitations of the recommendations are assessed and issues for discussion are raised.
