| Abstract |
This presentation discusses the successes and failures we have experienced in trying to implement Performamatics courses over the last two years. In that time we have experimented with two pedagogical models: (a) “synchronized” courses in which students in different disciplines come together at strategic points to work on joint projects, and (b) “hybrid” courses in which all students enroll in a single course that has two instructors, one from Computer Science and one from Art, Music, or Theatre. Our presentation will describe the content of these courses, provide examples of student work, and suggest ways in which both the student and professor collaborations could be improved, all with the intent to provide others with solid guidance on implementing similar strategies at their own institutions. |
