Rutgers Center for Effective School Practices research professor Cynthia L. Blitz presented 'Information Overload: Navigating Existing CS Resources Without Reinventing the Wheel' at the Conference for Research on Equitable and Sustained Participation in Engineering, Computing, and Technology (RESPECT) in 2019. Grounded in the work of the center's National Science Foundation-funded Computer Science Teaching and Learning Collaboratory (CS-TLC), the presentation reviewed how to overcome the well-documented challenges of information overload within the realm of navigating the plethora of existing computer science education resources and opportunities.
Presentation topics included:
How users use technology is a factor in determining its usefulness.
Engaging users themselves in a systematic process co-designing the knowledge management and collaboration systems they will ultimately use.
The iterative five-step process of co-designing, which includes vision articulation at the onset.
