There is a growing awareness of the importance of considering values when designing technology. There are several research approaches that focus on this, such as B. Value-Responsive Design, Value-Centered Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Valued Participatory Design, just to name a few. Less attention has been paid to the development of teaching materials, however, as values in HCI play a role in why practical teaching activities are not enough, and in particular teaching activities that cover the entire design process.In this article, we argue that teaching ethics and values in HCI is not only important in parts of the design and development process, but is equally important throughout the process. We demonstrate this through a unique collection of 28 challenges identified during the design process. , accompanied by inspiring suggestions for classroom activities to meet these challenges. The article is based on the results of applying a modified pedagogical design pattern approach to the iterative development of an open educational resource containing teaching and assessment activities and a pedagogical framework, and pilot experiments. Preliminary results of piloting parts of the teaching activities indicate that the participating students experience the acquisition of knowledge on how to understand human values in design and how to act ethically, and the teachers experience an increased ability to translate values in design in a relevant and innovative way way to mediate way. Hopefully, this overview of the challenges and inspiring values-based teaching activities in technology design can be a way to inspire teachers to sensitize their students and better prepare them to become responsible designers by learning how to address and work with values in HCI.
