Abstract: In this paper I elaborate on a promising link between ethics, thinking skills, and online collaborative tools. Cognitive tools used for communication and collaboration can be designed to support and scaffold ethically-relevant skills such as: cognitive empathy, the ability to take multiple perspectives, the ability to reflect on one's biases and emotional state, a tolerance for uncertainty, ambiguity, and change, and the ability to reflect upon the quality of a communication that one is involved in. These thinking skills contribute to the quality of knowledge building and decision making. I argue that an opportunity now exists to source this large body of related work to create a coherent R&D focus.
