N2 - Teaching professional ethics for computer science and information systems students is a challenge. The students mostly view the course as an abstract and theoretical course. In this paper, we show how we created a creative environment for the professional ethics course at the American University of Kuwait (AUK). Our main idea is to introduce many course activities using e-learning environments to make the course more dynamic and appealing to students with scientific background. The paper will include a discussion of how using the e-learning technology improved the way the course is delivered which contributed to improve students' performance and enrollment figures.
