Problets - The Home Page - 1 views
-
Problets are problem solving software assistants for learning, reinforcement and assessment of programming concepts. They are designed to help students learn programming concepts through small-scale problem-solving, and as a supplement to large-scale programming traditionally used in introductory programming courses. At this site, you can find out more about the capabilities of the problets, their pedagogy, and about using them in your courses.

Do you wish that you could... extend the excitement of the SIGCSE conferences to your locale? share your ideas and problems with colleagues more than once a year? have a local organization that encouraged computing faculty in your area to meet? Because the SIGCSE Board believes that many people will say yes to these questions, we approved an initiative to encourage the formation of SIGCSE chapters. The process for starting an ACM SIGCSE Chapter is straight forward. Information on this process can be found at Starting an ACM Chapter.

This is the slide set for my Education Keynote at ICSE (International Conference on Software Engineering), Cape Town, South Africa, 5 May 2010. Usual caveats apply: this is only supporting material, not all of it understandable independently of the talk. Many of the original slides (in particular the programming-related examples) include animation, not visible in this version. URLs are clickable and have associated screen tips.

CS 202 - Introduction to Computation - 0 views
-
Designed for a diverse audience, this course examines some of the fundamental ideas behind the science of computing. This course, like the field of Computer Science in general, is more than just the study of how to use computers. At the highest level, this course focuses on studying algorithms which are step-by-step methods for accomplishing a complex task. Algorithms are useful in more places than you might imagine. Algorithms specify the work that must be done for large, complex tasks like sequencing the human genome and indexing and searching for web pages. But, algorithms can also describe how people can approach problems like finding a path out of a maze or solving a rubix cube. Understanding how to solve problems in a step-by-step fashion is useful for more than just computer scientists. In this course, we will investigate the types of problems we currently know how to solve with computation. We will compare different algorithms that solve the same problem and determine which are the most efficient. We will learn how modern computers perform computation by covering hardware and software topics on how data is stored and how instructions are executed. We will also survey the wide range of areas within computer science, including robotics, human-computer interaction, and artificial intelligence. To obtain hands-on experience with algorithms, we will be using a new programming environment called Scratch. Scratch enables beginners to create sophisticated programs by simply dragging and dropping predefined instruction blocks. Thus, we will acquire experience decomposing problems into well-defined steps without the fear of frustrating ``syntax'' errors. CS 202 can be used to satisfy the Quantitative Reasoning A (QR-A) and Natural Sciences requirements. CS 202 can also be used as part of a certificate in Computer Sciences.

CS0: The Beauty, Joy and Awe of Computing - 0 views
-
We propose to develop Computer Science 0 (CS0): a new introductory general service course, available to students across the university, to share the beauty, joy and awe of computing (Mcgettrick et al., 2008; Garcia et al., 2009). This course has the potential to serve as a model for a new CollegeBoard Advanced Placement course in the works (Astrachan et al., 2009), which could have national impact. Students will be gently introduced to programming and computational thinking using a new graphical programming language called Scratch (Maloney et al., 2004), with the emphasis on problems relevance to themselves and society. In addition to allowing more opportunities for creativity in the first computer science course, the language has been designed to make learning to program easier by preventing a common frustration for novices, syntax errors. It also supports a computer science "big idea", which is software reuse - it allows students to upload their finished graphical programs to the web which can then be run online in a web browser, downloaded, modified (or, "re-mixed") and re-uploaded. These "Web 2.0" features are the first to be integrated seamlessly into a programming environment, and we are encouraged by the existing active community of worldwide student developers. Finally, the new course will provide the opportunity to broaden participation in computing, a critical component to addressing the current computing enrollment crisis.
Introduction to Programming and Scratch | Harvard Computer Science Lecture - 0 views

Introduction to Computer Science I is a first course in computer science at Harvard College for concentrators and non-concentrators alike. More than just teach you how to program, this course teaches you how to think more methodically and how to solve problems more effectively. As such, its lessons are applicable well beyond the boundaries of computer science itself. That the course does teach you how to program, though, is perhaps its most empowering return. With this skill comes the ability to solve real-world problems in ways and at speeds beyond the abilities of most humans.
