Spring Semester 2004 Department of Computer Science A Joint Graduate and Undergraduate Course CSCI 7212-001 CSCI 4830-002
Gerhard Fischer (gerhard@cs.colorado.edu) Time: Monday and Wednesday 5:00-6:15 pm Location: Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory (ITLL 1B50) Objectives:This course will focus on creating a new understanding of design, learning and collaboration (as fundamental human activities) and their support with innovative computational media and technologies. The possibilities and the practice of design, learning and collaboration are a function of the media with which we design. The goal of the course is to explore the unique possibilities which computational media can have in impacting and transforming these activities by transcending “gift-wrapping” and “techno-determinism” in order to create true innovations. Topics:design, design processes, design methodologies (object-oriented design, component-based design, evolutionary design), design rationale, things that make us smart, high-functionality applications, end-user modifiability, meta-design, learning, lifelong learning, individual and social creativity, communities of practice, communities of interests, organizational learning, organizational memories, information repositories, innovative computational media and technologies supporting these goals and methods Course Requirements and Grading: Participants are expected to play an active role in this course by exploring topics of personal interest in a self-directed way, by contributing knowledge derived from their own work, by being willing to learn from each other, by working on (individual or collaborative) course projects, and by being interested in interdisciplinary collaborations. Grades will be determined by the successful participation in all of these different dimensions. Texts: Reading Material will be provided by the instructor. Prerequisites:
