Experience Teaching Emerging Information Technologies
Tappert, Charles C.; Agerwala, Tilak
Association Supporting Computer Users in Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association Supporting Computer Users in Education (ASCUE) (52nd, Myrtle Beach, SC, Jun 9-13, 2019)
This paper discusses our experiences teaching a doctoral-level course in emerging information technologies. The concept of emerging technologies is put into context by describing the technology life cycle. The emerging information technologies of current interest -- Artificial Intelligence and related areas, Collective Human-Computer Intelligence, Blockchain, Quantum Computing, Cybersecurity, Biometrics, and Internet Platform Businesses -- are described and the distinctions among them explained. We conclude that teaching emerging information technologies is an area rich with opportunity for growth. [For the full proceedings, see ED596991.]
