Our educational systems must prepare students for an increasingly interconnected future, and teachers require equipping with modern tools, such as network science, to achieve this. We held a Networks in Classroom Education (NiCE) workshop…
Undergraduate programs in science and engineering include at least one course in basic programming, but seldom presented in a contextualized format, where computing is a tool for thinking and learning in the discipline. We have created a…
The article first summarizes reasons why current approaches supporting Open Learning and Distance Education need to be complemented by tools permitting lecturers, researchers and students to cooperatively organize the semantic content of…
Use of online platforms for education is a vibrant and growing arena, incorporating a variety of software platforms and technologies, including various modalities of extended reality. We present our Enhanced Reality Teaching Concierge, an…
Networks have become increasingly relevant to everyday life as human society has become increasingly connected. Attaining a basic understanding of networks has thus become a necessary form of literacy for people (and for youths in…
Education should not be a privilege but a common good. It should be openly accessible to everyone, with as few barriers as possible; even more so for key technologies such as Machine Learning (ML) and Data Science (DS). Open Educational…
In addition to user-generated content, Open Educational Resources are increasingly made available on the Web by several institutions and organizations with the aim of being re-used. Nevertheless, it is still difficult for users to find…
Sociotechnical research increasingly includes the social sub-networks that emerge from large-scale sociotechnical infrastructure, including the infrastructure for building open source software. This paper addresses these numerous…
Despite growing global attention to digital accessibility, research from India highlights a significant gap in accessibility training for both computing educators and software professionals. To address this need, we designed and conducted…
Informatization of education enriches traditional teaching methods with new forms and methods, which are based on the broad and harmonious use of ICT. Electronic pedagogy acquires the status of one of the most popular trends in the…
