This artifact, from IT525, shows a leadership statement serving as the guidance and reference for instruction designers in their practices within an organization. Ethical standards are set to promote ethics in instruction design and to guide digital users’ technological user behavior.

For instructional designers, ethical standards described in AECT are the moral dimension to ensure that client and societal rights are not violated e.g.copyrights. This artifact demonstrates concerns and criteria in ethical issues related to the practice in instructional design field.
