Integrating Robotics Into First-Year Experience Courses, Tyson S. Hall, P. Willard Munger Apr 2011

Integrating Robotics Into First-Year Experience Courses, Tyson S. Hall, P. Willard Munger

Faculty Works

Robotics are a popular component of many introductory engineering and computer science courses. At Southern Adventist University, the School of Computing faculty decided to integrate robotics into a discipline-specific section of the University’s first-year experience course. The integration of robotics into a first-year experience course has created a hands-on introduction to college life within the Computing discipline while introducing students to the problem-solving process. This paper will introduce a very low-cost robotic platform kit ($50-75) that has been developed for the first-year experience course. Student assessment data from the first offering of this course with the SouthernBot 2.0 kit shows …


Investigations Into Library Web Scale Discovery Services, Jason Vaughan Jan 2011

Investigations Into Library Web Scale Discovery Services, Jason Vaughan

Library Faculty Publications

Web scale discovery services for libraries provide deep discovery to a library’s local and licensed content, and represent an evolution, perhaps a revolution, for end user information discovery as pertains to library collections. This article frames the topic of Web scale discovery, and begins by illuminating Web scale discovery from an academic library’s perspective – that is, the internal perspective seeking widespread staff participation in the discovery conversation. This included the creation of a Discovery Task Force, a group which educated library staff, conducted internal staff surveys, and gathered observations from early adopters. The article next addresses the substantial research …
