End-User Development Goes to School: Collaborative Learning with Makerspaces in Subject Areas

This chapter discusses why computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) environments have been unsuccessful in facilitating knowledge building in mathematics. It identifies two of the major reasons why this is so and suggests these issues could be overcome by the inclusion of model-eliciting mathematical problems and comprehension modeling tools within CSCL environments. Theoretical frameworks to inform the design of these two types of artifacts are presented. The authors argue that such innovations in the design of CSCL environments are necessary for students to achieve in mathematics the kind of sustained, progressive knowledge building that can now be found in other subject areas.

Human Psyche

Chapter 7 uses a philosophical approach to discuss the frailty of the human psyche with regards to the implementation and use of systems through our engagement with cyberspace. Our constant exposure to newsworthy cyber security events can desensitize people to the warnings that are either apparent or subliminal. A number of key topical subject areas are discussed exploring human psychology: why people are susceptible to psychological vulnerabilities, characteristics of the human psyche that facilitate errors, how these traits can be exhibited through flawed actions causing mistakes and preventative measures to stop deliberate and accidental actions. This analysis is of vital importance and relevance in order to combat the risks, which to the computer end-user may appear distant and intangible.

Improve Student Learning

Abstract In recent years, colleges and universities across the country have been called upon to increase the quality of education provided and to improve student retention rates. In response to this challenge, many faculty are exploring alternatives to the traditional “lecture-centered” approach of higher education in an attempt to increase student learning and satisfaction. Collaborative learning is one method of teaching, which has been demonstrated to improve student learning outcomes.
