 Computing is increasingly harnessed to address pressing educational
challenges of the 21st century: under-performing inner-city schools,
integrating immigrants into the school system, irregular school
attendance in rural developing regions, and women empowerment in
the developing world.This course is open to all undergrads and grad
students, with technical or non-technical backgrounds.We will
cover theory and practical applications of the Learning Sciences,
EducationalTechnology and Human-Computer Interaction, framed
around authentic problems such as the above. Students will apply
concepts from the course to examine existing solutions such as Sesame
Street’sThe Electric Company, Leapfrog’s literacy gadgets and the $100
laptop. Students will work in teams on semester-length design projects
to tackle educational problems of their choice, on platforms such as
cellphones, interactive videos or gaming (Nintendo’s Wii/DS/$10TV-
Computer). Confirmed guest speakers include theWorld Bank’s
Education Sector and Microsoft’s Global Learning Group.

3. In the 21st century education, students are being engaged in
different aspects of technology to developed skills for the

are prepared to embrace the competitive world by trying to
figure out what must be considered to prepare students in the
21st century society that will exist tomorrow.
