* THERE IS NO COURSE RUNNING RIGHT NOW. The last run ended in June 2022, the Spring term of 2023 iteration is a [https://akadeemia.kakupesa.net/SPEAIT/ contact course]. But the e-course will likely return in the future.
* The course is an English-language counterpart to the [https://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/IT_eetilised,_sotsiaalsed_ja_professionaalsed_aspektid Estonian-language original] that has been running on Wikiversity since 2009. Originally born of necessity during the 2020 corona virus crisis, it will likely go on in future as well.
* The course is an English-language counterpart to the [[IT_eetilised,_sotsiaalsed_ja_professionaalsed_aspektid|Estonian-language original]] that ran on Wikiversity from 2009 to 2020 and continues [[e-ITSPEA | here]] since Autumn 2020. Originally born of necessity during the COVID-19 pandemic in Spring 2020 (before, it was only offered by conventional means), it will likely go on (as an option) in future as well.
* In the Spring term 2020, the course will be offered to the students of [https://ois.ttu.ee/portal/page?_pageid=37,674560&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL&p_kava_versioon_id=50405&p_rezhiim=0&p_net=internet&p_action=view&p_mode=1 Cyber Security Engineering B.Sc. programme] at the [http://httpsː//www.itcollege.ee IT College] of [http://httpsː//www.ttu.ee Tallinn University of Technology] (Tallinn, Estonia). Note that this run is shorter with only 9 weeks - the switch to the e-course had to be made mid-term after 6 weeks in a more conventional, lecture-based form. The future runs of the course will include all 15 topics.
* The IT College wiki is open for anyone to read, but editing requires logging in with the [https://wiki.ttu.ee/en/manuals/it/doc/uni-id Uni-ID]. Those who do not possess it (e.g. short-time exchange students) should send their edits to the lecturer via e-mail instead.
* The typical form is almost pure e-course with a kick-off meeting and face-to-face exam at the end (see the course guide below). In the 2020 run, conditions may dictate a distance exam as well (follow the announcementsǃ).
* In the Spring term of 2022, the course will be offered to the students of [https://www.taltech.ee/en/cyber-security-engineering Cyber Security Engineering B.Sc. programme] at the [https://www.taltech.ee/en/itcollege IT College] of [https://www.ttu.ee Tallinn University of Technology] (Tallinn, Estonia). Additionally, some visiting students from the [https://taltech.ee/en/euroteq/cooperation EuroTeQ] partner universities will also attend.
