Algorithms and programming are and will be essential cultural techniques used in creating the future, yet most students barely encounter them in their Mathematics curriculum. Using geometry, we studied how to integrate programming and algorithms in the current curriculum in grades 6 and 7.

This work investigates combining reinforcement learning and radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) learning to improve the performance of a robot that learns to perform its task. A simple task is given, and the simulator uses reinforcement learning to generate a q-learning table, which is then used to generate a neural network. Analysis is then done to determine if the combination improves the robots performance of its task

During MOOCs and large on-campus courses with limited face-to-face interaction between students and instructors, assessing and improving teaching effectiveness is challenging. In a 2014 study on course-monitoring methods for MOOCs [30], qualitative (textual) input was found to be the most useful. Two challenges in collecting such input for ongoing course evaluation are insuring student confidentiality and developing a platform that incentivizes and manages input from many students. To collect and manage ongoing ("just-in-time") student feedback while maintaining student confidentiality, we designed the MOOC Collaborative Assessment and Feedback Engine (M-CAFE 1.0). This mobile-friendly platform encourages students to check in weekly to numerically assess their own performance, provide textual ideas about how the course might be improved, and rate ideas suggested by other students. For instructors, M-CAFE 1.0 displays ongoing trends and highlights potentially valuable ideas based on collaborative filtering. We describe case studies with two EdX MOOCs and one on-campus undergraduate course. This report summarizes data and system performance on over 500 textual ideas with over 8000 ratings.

Sensors have become pervasive throughout our daily activities. Virtually all appliances use one or more sensors. Networks of sensors are used to support home and medical monitoring, wildlife behavioral monitoring, military applications, and environmental management. Observing the value of sensors in computing, we developed the third in a series of serious toys for use in pre-collegiate classrooms. The "toy" is an embedded hardware device designed to enhance a lecture titled "Learning About Sensors and Sensor Networks." In this paper, we describe the curriculum module and its use in five classes from a local middle school, and four groups from a summer outreach program. We conclude with a summary of evaluation results that show the program produced positive results.

Lab on a Stick (LoaS) is a portable, modular, and scalable way to teach networking, systems administration, and computer security related material to students of all ages. The LoaS model empowers educators to develop customized virtual laboratory environments hosted on commonly available USB flash drives that are easily distributable. The students can complete various networking or computer security related exercises in a classroom environment, or take the entire laboratory home to continue work at their own pace. A portable, decentralized virtual environment has many benefits over centralized approaches which are illustrated through four different use cases that each employ one of two different variations of the LoaS model. Lab on a Stick has been shown to be useful for full semester classes in higher education, cybersecurity summer camps for junior high and high school students, as well as for students who would like to extend their learning beyond what is traditionally offered in the classroom. This paper details the key benefits provided by the Lab on a Stick model, and also includes performance information gathered after evaluating LoaS on various USB 2.0 and 3.0 flash drives.
Lab on a Stick (LoaS)是一种便携式、模块化和可伸缩的方法，用于向所有年龄段的学生教授网络、系统管理和计算机安全相关材料。LoaS模型使教育工作者能够在易于分发的通用USB闪存驱动器上开发定制的虚拟实验室环境。学生们可以在教室环境中完成各种网络或计算机安全相关的练习，或者把整个实验室带回家，按照自己的节奏继续工作。与集中式方法相比，可移植的、分散的虚拟环境有许多优点，这些优点通过四个不同的用例来说明，每个用例使用LoaS模型的两种不同变体中的一种。实验棒已经被证明对高等教育的整个学期课程，初中和高中学生的网络安全夏令营，以及那些想要扩展他们的学习超越传统课堂的学生都很有用。本文详细介绍了实验室在u盘模型上提供的主要优势，并包括在评估各种USB 2.0和3.0闪存驱动器上的LoaS后收集的性能信息。
