ACM Education Council FOCES “Other Action Items” Group Mark Guzdial, Chair Dan Garcia Depak Kumar Lisa Kaczmarczyk Alison Young Carol Spradling Lillian Israel Mark Guzdial Chair

Guzdial, , Vancouver ACM Ed Council : FOCES “Other Action Items” Group What our charter was…  3. Identify, develop, and centralize resources.  4. Develop mini-grants for teachers (maybe for curriculum development) so local press has a reason to write about computing and bring positive attention to the school districts.  8. Initiate recognition of pedagogical achievement, such as best paper, best education resources, etc.  9. Gather data about experiences on dual track tenure lines (research and teaching).  10. Survey non-major’s computing courses, get reviews and find exemplars; survey general education schemes for including computing.

Guzdial, , Vancouver ACM Ed Council : FOCES “Other Action Items” Group 3 Identify, develop, & centralize resources  Ensemble can serve as the infrastructure  The new computing pathway site we are building based on Drupal. This is the place to organize group activities, to put things to be shared, to find out what is happening, etc. This is a new concept for the pathway and we need to get tuned in to it. The Drupal facility allows very flexible control of who has access for writing, for editing, for adding users, etc. There is support of groups of many types of configuration, mail lists, announcements, document storage, shared access, etc. Anything you can imagine a web site supporting is there. This is the resource for providing web support for our task force activities.  THE resource for the CE summit  Infrastructure  Connect to CSTA resources (done!)  Metadata imported  Still not clear who’s going to provide the resources.

Guzdial, , Vancouver ACM Ed Council : FOCES “Other Action Items” Group Recognition of achievement  8. Ensemble is building “rewards infrastructure”  A form of recognition for pedagogical achievement  Building community  Use Facebook?

Guzdial, , Vancouver ACM Ed Council : FOCES “Other Action Items” Group 10. Non-majors / GenEd courses survey  Identifying Exemplars  UCSD: LisaK has overhauled their CS0 course in Fa09  Non-majors  Minimal programming (scratch), not throughout  Some Excel scripting (Psych wants that), data modeling  UCB: DanG is teaching a GSC-compliant CS0 pilot  “The Beauty and Joy of Computing”  Lots of programming in Scratch; pair coding; students choose their own projects. Big ideas of computing too  Our CS0 hopefully feeds into CS1  GT: Mark’s Intro to Media Computation (Python)  This fulfills the CS1 requirement  BrynMawr: Computing with Robots (Python)  This fulfills the quantitative requirement

Guzdial, , Vancouver ACM Ed Council : FOCES “Other Action Items” Group Non-majors / GenEd courses survey  What kinds of items might be on the survey?  What is CS0? Non-majors? Remedial for majors?  Where do these lie? Great courses outside CS  Not non-majors; it’s computing outside CS (majors)  Programming (level & spectrum)? No programming?  Desired outcome? Recruitment?  What minors / concentrations are out there?  Computing + X belongs to cs majors, too – not just outside-cs-majors  What credit? What placement? Non-CS? CS? Elective?  Some non-CS depts have computing requirement but don’t want to teach it themselves, others do want to own it  Who guarantees quality of courses taught by non-CS? Who approves?  Will your school buy into GSC? What are the issues/politics?  Credit, placement?

Guzdial, , Vancouver ACM Ed Council : FOCES “Other Action Items” Group Survey Incentives  Incentive to participate in survey?  Personalized helps  May have to ask CS to look across campus  Tiered effort: chair first, faculty, plus student chapters  Can buy lists of CS Departments, but act quickly on them (they go stale quickly)  Phone (or skype) interviews to sample kinds of schools to frame Questions  Regional champions to organize multi-schools  Other possibilities : in-depth across campus for some sample?  Use student chapters to gather data? Very empowering for students to be part of this large, important effort  Sharing data afterward is a great incentive  Could do some data SIGCSE  This is the problem with haves vs have nots. Not all schools go to SIGCSE  ACM-centered vs SIGCSE-centered  ACM may be a name to get more response  Could ask for more data but choose questions carefully

Guzdial, , Vancouver ACM Ed Council : FOCES “Other Action Items” Group Resources  Fluxus (scheme with processing)  Runs on windows and macs  Scratch 2.0  Have to pick questions well  Question: “Did this class change the way you interact with computers?” – mouse/keyboard/display, nope!
