- Value [1] Purpose Driven Learning
- Value [2] Intellectual Curiosity
- PREREQUISITES: Intellectual curiosity and a willingness to experiment are essential for this course. No formal technology
training are assumed or required but an interest in and willingness to play with new tools will be.
- Value [3] Experimentation
- Value [4] Flipped Classrooms
- OTHER STUFF ABOUT CLASS: Flipped Classroom: This is a flipped class. Lectures will be done by video before class, leaving
class time for hands on training and discussion.
- Value [5] Attendance
- In Class: Students will attend and participate actively... Attendance at all classes, given our limited time together, is
mandatory: if you must be absent, let me know in advance.
- Value [6] Participation
- Value [7] Conversations
- Because lectures will be online and watched prior to class, class time will be used for conversations, demonstrations, and
design problems.
- Value [8] Demonstrations
- Value [9] Designs
- Value [10] Presentations
- Presenting Early and Often: During the course of the term, we will work together to develop an approach to tackling the problem
you are passionate about.
- Value [11] Team Work
- Value [12] Passion
- Value [13] Impact
- We want to learn to develop projects that are high impact and yet practical to implement and to avoid inventing or reinventing
wheels.
- Value [14] Practicality
- Value [15] Solutions
- Hence you will be asked to develop your "solution" very early and constantly refine it throughout the semester through iterative
presentations.
- Value [16] Refinement
- Value [17] Speakers
- Speakers: We will have cool and interesting visitors through the semester to enliven our discussions and offer additional
coaching and mentoring.
- Value [18] Coaching
- Value [19] Mentoring
- Value [20] Iteration
- All your work will be iterative. We will repeatedly design, present, revise, enabling you to finish the course with vetted
writing samples. I expect that you will tweet, live blog and/or blog out of class. Postings are not letter graded. You will
submit one posting to me in the first half of the semester, which I will edit and you will revise and republish before the
end of the semester.
