Teaching Data - Discussions

Engaging students in working with their own social media data
Posted: 7 Dec 2013 - 12:24 by: Darren Cambridge

One source of data that participants in several discussions said would likely be engaging is students own social media participation. For example, Facebook allows you to download you data in a format that's reasonable to work with. We heard about several techniques from computational linguistics and social network analysis that might be applicable and accessible in ECS and CSP.

Finding and Working with Data Sets
Posted: 7 Dec 2013 - 12:20 by: Darren Cambridge

Throughout the three panels and the keynote, a key challenge that came up time and again was data sets. Where do you find data sets likely to be of interest to students? What kinds work best? What do you need to do to them to get them in a form with which students can productively work? How much choice should students have about which data sets with which they will work?
