Braught, Grant; MacCormick, John; Bowring, James; Burke, Quinn; Cutler, Barbara; Goldschmidt, David; Krishnamoorthy, Mukkai; Turner, Wesley; Huss-Lederman, Steven; Mackellar, Bonnie; Tucker, Allen – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2018
Many computer science programs have capstone experiences or project courses that allow students to integrate knowledge from the full breadth of their major. Such capstone projects may be student-designed, instructor-designed, designed in conjunction with outside companies, or integrated with ongoing free and open source (FOSS) projects. The…

Hall, Catherine J. – Independent School, 2016
It is difficult, if not impossible, for a school proud of its reputation for excellence not to feel the need to claim to have a firm grip on "innovation." Leading in innovation suggests many things that the school is--such as being technologically advanced, current in pedagogy and practice, and generally ahead of the curve. Yet, in…

Berenstein, Max; Katz, Demian – Computers in Libraries, 2012
Academic, government, and corporate librarians organize and leverage internal resources and content through institutional repositories and library catalogs. Getting more value and usage from the content they license is a key goal. However, the ever-growing amount of content and shifting user demands for new materials or features has made the…

Touretzky, David S. – Computer Science Education, 2013
Modern robots, like today's smartphones, are complex devices with intricate software systems. Introductory robot programming courses must evolve to reflect this reality, by teaching students to make use of the sophisticated tools their robots provide rather than reimplementing basic algorithms. This paper focuses on teaching with Tekkotsu, an open…

Mahon, Ed; McPherson, Michael R.; Vaughan, Joseph; Rowe, Theresa; Pickett, Michael P.; Bielec, John A. – EDUCAUSE Review, 2011
IT leaders today must not only provide but also decide: which tools and services should they continue to supply, which are better delivered by others, and perhaps most critically, which methods from among the bewildering array of alternative sourcing strategies will best serve their faculty, staff, and students. In 2009, the EDUCAUSE Center for…

Flatley, Robert; Jensen, Robert Bruce – Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship, 2012
Academic libraries have traditionally collected reference statistics using hash marks on paper. Although efficient and simple, this method is not an effective way to capture the complexity of reference transactions. Several electronic tools are now available to assist libraries with collecting often elusive reference data--among them homegrown…

Romero, Juan Suarez – Computers in Libraries, 2010
Public libraries are redefining their roles in order to stay relevant to the needs of the communities they serve. Today, libraries are places where reading meets hands-on learning and where quietness coexists with voices and music. The latest advances in technology for children and teens, specifically, robotics sets and media-rich software, are…

Picciano, Anthony G. – Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, 2012
Data-driven decision making, popularized in the 1980s and 1990s, is evolving into a vastly more sophisticated concept known as big data that relies on software approaches generally referred to as analytics. Big data and analytics for instructional applications are in their infancy and will take a few years to mature, although their presence is…
