PDF-(BOOK)-Learner-Centered Design of Computing Education Research on Computing for Everyone

Computing education is in enormous demand Many students both children and adult are realizing that they will need programming in the future This book presents the argument that they are not all going to use programming in the same way and for the same purposes What do we mean when we talk about teaching everyone to program When we target a broad audience should we have the same goals as computer science education for professional software developers How do we design computing education that works for everyone This book proposes use of a learnercentered design approach to create computing education for a broad audience It considers several reasons for teaching computing to everyone and how the different reasons lead to different choices about learning goals and teaching methods The book reviews the history of the idea that programming isnt just for the professional software developer It uses research studies on teaching computing in liberal arts programs to graphic designers to high school teachers in order to explore the idea that computer science for everyone requires us to rethink how we teach and what we teach The conclusion describes how we might create computing education for everyone. roots in early 1980 in USA with the establishment of ‘National Commission on Excellence in Education’.

Information Technology (IT). “is the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware’’ . Increasingly teams are working together when they are not in the same location even though there are many challenges to doing so successfully. Here we review the latest insights into these matters guided by a framework that we have developed during two decades of research on this topic. This framework organizes a series of factors that we have found to differentiate between successful and unsuccessful distributed collaborations. We then review the kinds of technology options that are available today focusing more on types of technologies rather than specific instances. We describe a database of geographically distributed projects we have studied and introduce the Collaboration Success Wizard an online tool for assessing past present or planned distributed collaborations. We close with a set of recommendations for individuals managers and those higher in the organizations who wish to support distance work. The Envisionment and Discovery Collaboratory (EDC) is a long-term research platform exploring immersive socio-technical environments in which stakeholders can collaboratively frame and solve problems and discuss and make decisions in a variety of application domains and different disciplines. The knowledge to understand frame and solve these problems does not already exist but is constructed and evolves in ongoing interactions and collaborations among stakeholders coming from different disciplines providing a unique and challenging environment to study foster and support human-centered informatics design creativity and learning. At the social level the EDC is focused on the collaborative construction of artifacts rather than the sharing of individually constructed items. It brings individuals together in face-to-face meetings encouraging and supporting them to engage individually and collectively in action and reflection. At the technological level the EDC integrates tabletop computing environments tangible objects sketching support geographic information systems visualization software and an envisioned virtual implementation. This book is based on 20 years of research and development activities that brought together interdisciplinary teams of researchers educators designers and practitioners from different backgrounds. The EDC originated with the merging of two research paradigms from disparate disciplines to build on the strengths approaches and perspectives of each. This book describes the artifacts and scenarios that were developed with the goal of providing inspiration for human-centered informatics not focused on technologies in search of a purpose but on the development of systems supporting stakeholders to explore personally meaningful problems. These developments have inspired numerous research and teaching activities. The challenges prototypical systems and lessons learned represent important milestones in the development and evolution of the EDC that are relevant for future research activities and practices in human-centered informatics. This book explores the design process for user experience and engagement which expands the traditional concept of usability and utility in design to include aesthetics fun and excitement. User experience has evolved as a new area of Human Computer Interaction research motivated by non-work oriented applications such as games education and emerging interactive Web 2.0. The chapter starts by examining the phenomena of user engagement and experience and setting them in the perspective of cognitive psychology in particular motivation emotion and mood. The perspective of aesthetics is expanded towards interaction and engagement to propose design treatments metaphors and interactive techniques which can promote user interest excitement and satisfying experiences. This is followed by reviewing the design process and design treatments which can promote aesthetic perception and engaging interaction. The final part of the chapter provides design guidelines and principles drawn from the interaction and graphical design literature which are cross-referenced to issues in the design process. Examples of designs and design treatments are given to illustrate principles and advice accompanied by critical reflection.
