The detailed case studies present in this volume range from drones in the Andes to iPads at Pompeii, digital workflows in the American Southwest, and examples of how bespoke, DIY, and commercial software provide solutions and craft novel challenges for field archaeologists. The range of projects and contexts ensures that Mobilizing the Past for a Digital Future is far more than a state-of-the-field manual or technical handbook. Instead, the contributors embrace the growing spirit of critique present in digital archaeology. This critical edge, backed by real projects, systems, and experiences, gives the book lasting value as both a glimpse into present practices as well as the anxieties and enthusiasm associated with the most recent generation of mobile digital tools. This book emerged from a workshop funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities held in 2015 at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston. The workshop brought together over 20 leading practitioners of digital archaeology in the U.S. for a weekend of conversation. The papers in this volume reflect the discussions at this workshop with significant additional content. Starting with an expansive introduction and concluding with a series of reflective papers, this volume illustrates how tablets, connectivity, sophisticated software, and powerful computers have transformed field practices and offer potential for a radically transformed discipline.

The Role of Criticism in Understanding Problem Solving updates some of those ideas initially proposed in Paradigms Regained, and extends the conversation into the contemporary discourse regarding problem based learning (PBL). Paradigms proposed the idea of criticism as a third method for the conduction of educational research, the first two being qualitative and ...

In it, the overall message of the book—that criticism and critical theories can serve to aid critical reading and synthesis of the educational technology research literature—is summarized. One of the strengths of the educational technology field is its interdisciplinarity. As students enter the field from many different academic disciplines, they should be encouraged to apply not just the content of their former disciplines but also the strategies of and frameworks for ...

The discourse of this text relates criticism and PBL to current trends in educational research. In addition to the broader context of the volume, this first chapter quickly summarizes the content of each remaining chapter. This text puts forward criticism as a lens for viewing the ...

One of the specific learning outcomes throughout our computer science curriculum is the development of independent, capable problem solvingand we believe good pedagogy can bring such about. Our experiences indicate to us that students improve their ability to analyze and solve complex computational problems when we pursue pedagogies that support them in developing these skills incrementally. Specifically, we pursue a problem-based learning approach that we apply individually in each course as well as across the entire curriculum of our department, instead of solely considering our pedagogy on a course-by-course basis.

The experimental design is framed by a discussion of data mining education to date and a vision for its future.

We propose an alternate model for liberal arts computing curricula that prioritizes interdisciplinary approaches and content. This approach reflects both traditional and modern perspectives on the strength of liberal arts education. We illustrate how this interdisciplinary model for a computing curriculum has been implemented at our institution through a curriculum that prioritizes inherent interdisciplinarity, broad perspectives on computing, constructivist pedagogies embedded throughout the curriculum, support for inclusive computing education, and administrative flexibility. In particular, we take a broad view of the interdisciplinary potential of computing education, drawing not only on traditional connections to math and science, but also to psychology, art, philosophy, history, and othe...

In this text, the authors have raised and answered many questions regarding the future of interdisciplinary computing education, and presented ideas and examples for implementing appropriate pedagogies and curricula. Conclusions include recognizing the value of constructivist approaches, recognizing a difference between computer science education and computing education, and a realization that computing education should be guided by the broad educational mission of producing an educated citizenry rather than a mission of technical training or career preparation.

The forceful reassertion of the business cycle and our current national trauma1 provide an appropriate opportunity for careful reflection about IT and about the future of IT in higher education. The measurable indicators — such as productivity, employment, and the inflation rate — clearly show that some important structural changes are taking place in the national and the international economies, although the rate of these changes will undoubtedly be slowed temporarily by the business cycle. Further, evidence continues to accumulate that IT is directly responsible for Exploiting information technology applications can increase the competitiveness of liberal arts colleges f o r t h e L i b e r a l A r t s C o l l e g e :

Public services have been transformed into data-driven enterprises. This enthusiasm for data collection, analysis and public reporting has important consequences for computing education. This chapter outlines a pedagogical strategy for educating citizens in the competent and responsible use of the data currently defining our national agenda. Specifically the authors argue that problem-based learning (PBL) provides a strong framework for introducing database concepts to a broad range of students. The design of databases constitutes complex problems with multiple solutions. Database problems are necessarily interdisciplinary involving both problem domain and technical expertise. Moreover, since databases support some real-world objective, problems in database design are inherently authentic and contextualized. These properties hold consistently across a range of problem types. Thus, common problems in the database domain are aligned with PBL definitions of good problems.
