The goal of the Culturally Situated Design Tools project is to increase student engagement and achievement in math and computing and improve attitudes toward technology-based careers. Culturally Situated Design Tools (CSDTs) are a suite of web applets based on ethno-mathematics: the mathematical knowledge embedded in cultural designs such as African American cornrow hairstyles, Native American beadwork, Latino percussion rhythms, and urban graffiti. (http://www.rpi.edu/~eglash/csdt.html). CSDTs allow students to use these underlying mathematical principles to simulate the original cultural designs, create new designs of their own invention, and engage in inquiry learning for math and computing education. The supporting materials for the CSDTs include lesson plans and evaluation instruments to ensure they are integrated into the curriculum through state and national standards.  less

Pair programming refers to the practice whereby two programmers work together at one computer, collaborating on the same design, algorithm, code, or test. The pair is made up of a driver, who actively types at the computer or records a design; and a navigator, who watches the work of the driver and attentively identifies problems, asks clarifying questions, and makes suggestions. Both are also continuous brainstorming partners. Throughout the world, many universities are using pair programming in their computer science classes and a number of high schools have begun using the practice as well. Generally, current-day students much prefer to collaborate than to work alone and find computer science more attractive if they are not forced to work alone the majority of the time. Between the two students, they can generally figure out most problems and can avoid pesky syntax and semantic errors that can cost many hours to debug.  less

Service-oriented computing is a research area that investigates how the Internet will evolve as more capabilities are converted into web services. Perhaps the most interesting area is the ability to discovering multiple complementary web services and composing them together to make a higher-level processes or workflows. Imagine if a new company can be started that just by creatively integrating the services provided on the Internet by other companies. The Web Services Challenge (http://ws-challenge.georgetown.edu/wsc09/) is a competition that allows teams from across the world to compete at composing web services. This seminar will provide a 2-day introduction to web services and web service composition on the campus of University of Notre Dame.  less
