Computer literacy: today and tomorrow - 0 views

  •  
    This is an article in the Journal of Computing Sciences in Colleges that argues the point that the majority of students possess basic computing skills, e.g., WWW, email, search engines (Google), instant messaging, etc., but this knowledge is not founded upon the technology itself; rather, students are mere consumers who learn to use such technologies only because they possess meaningful functionality.

A new look at parallel computing in the computer science curriculum - 0 views

  •  
    This is a panel discussion in the Journal of Computing Sciences in Colleges that aims to address the issues associated with the advent of readily available multi-core and clustered computing systems. Moore's law has driven microprocessor architects to design platforms that exploit the performance gain of multi-core processors. The problem resides in the fact that many computer science curricula do not touch upon parallel computing because while the fundamentals may be relatively basic, other aspects of the technology is extremely difficult for students to understand and implement. However, this is the direction computer systems are headed and something must be done to utilize this technology to its fullest extent.

On Acronyms, Jargon and Terminology - 0 views

  •  
    The author reflects on the use of acronyms, jargon, and terminology in electronic engineering. According to the author, terminology is a very significant issue since a common language is vital for the proper exchange of information, particularly when a new technology is developed. The author believes that many of the terms for the various devices were developed given the fact that the technology involved is old and established. (Description provided by EBSCO.)

EBSCOhost: The impact of the graphics calculator on the assessment of calculus and mod... - 0 views

  •  
    The Authors of this article have conducted a study on 710 college students who were taking Pre-Calculus class. They were split into a controlled group, and a test group. The control group took the course using basic technology, and text books. The test group used graphics calculators and textbooks geared towards learning with graphics calculators. At the end of the course the students were required to take a comprehensive exam. The results showed that the students who took the course with the graphics calculators scored much higher than those who took the course in the traditional fashion. This study was conducted over a period of three semesters, and will prove very useful in my argumentation.

  •  
    The authors of this article tried to generate search technology to view library resources; however, they found a number of problems. Because of these struggles, they conducted an experiment comparing Organ State University Libraries design to Google Scholar. They use volunteers to conduct research in an efficient and effective way to discover the reliability of each student. They used both qualitative and quantitative data to determine how Google compares to other search engines. This article also presents charts and tables that make understanding the experimental result with more ease.

Design of future systems - 0 views

  •  
    This is an article from Design, Automation, and Test in Europe in Proceedings of the conference on Design, automation and test in Europe. The author of the article suggests the creation of a new type of profession that might result from the rapid advancement of hardware and software. Instead of having two separate entities that develop computer systems, the hardware and software professions, there will be one profession that handles the development of both. However, both existing professions would need to join together to make this possible. The hardware technology produced from this joining would be similar to field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), an architecture that can be "reprogrammed" on the fly. This profession would be more like the software development profession as the hardware can be reprogrammed for a particular task. I find this interesting as it could technically eliminate the lack of communication between hardware and software engineers as one would be handling both.

Battle of the Brains: The Case for Multiple Intelligences - 0 views

  •  
    A film on OhioLINK. For decades, IQ tests have been the gold standard for measuring intelligence. But is one standardized test really adequate for every taker? This program advocates a different approach, creating an array of unusual challenges to assess brainpower and positing an argument for the interplay of multiple intelligences. Assisted by the insights of Harvard's Howard Gardner and experts using brain scanning technology at UC Davis' M.I.N.D. Institute, the program brings together a group of obviously bright and talented people and presents them with trials of all shapes and sizes. The results establish the validity of measuring not just what people know but also the equally important ways in which they exercise their practical, creative, emotional, and kinesthetic IQs. A BBCW Production. (50 minutes)
