One of the "choose your own adventure" decks used during my 2011 Ohio LinuxFest talk, "Level-up with Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics: Turn your Life into a Data-Driven Video Game with FOSS," which is about using FOSS tools and practices to support life-gamification -- putting behavorial psychology to work on your brain as a platform. The talk was a nonlinear narrative, so if you've just stumbled across this one, check out my other talks with the olf-2011 tag and start with the one called "Main Talk" -- you'll know when it's time to branch out to the other decks.

Intro to Psych
The document provides an overview of psychology and discusses various approaches to understanding human behavior, including neurobiological, behavioral, psychoanalytic, cognitive, and sociocultural approaches. It introduces key figures in the history of psychology such as William Wundt, William James, Sigmund Freud, Francis Galton, Ivan Pavlov, John Watson, and B.F. Skinner. It also outlines different fields of psychology such as clinical, educational, child, environmental, industrial, experimental, and teaching psychology.
History Of Psychology Presentation
The document provides a brief history of psychology, beginning with Aristotle who is considered the father of psychology and wrote one of the first books on the soul. It discusses key figures like Descartes who proposed mind-body dualism, Gall who developed phrenology, Locke's tabula rasa theory, Darwin applying psychology to animals, Wundt establishing introspection, William James changing views of emotion, Freud developing the id/ego/superego model of the psyche, Watson promoting behaviorism and his controversial Little Albert study.
Hacker School talk - Learning for Hackers
Rough draft of the Learning for Hackers talk (refactored from prior Hacker School presentations, with incomplete image credits)
Edutalk w2014
This document provides a summary of an educational theory presentation given at Hacker School in 2014. The presentation covered five main ideas:
1. Learning is designable like code and can be approached in a test-driven manner.
2. Understanding individual learning styles is important for effective learning.
3. Learning does not occur alone but within communities, with more experienced members providing guidance and support.
4. Mindset and motivation are key factors for mastery, and concepts like growth mindset and self-efficacy are important.
5. Students should embrace challenges and have courage in their learning.
Edutalk f2013
1. The document discusses educational theory and concepts relevant to learning at hacker schools.
2. It promotes three main ideas: that learning is designable like coding, individual brains learn differently, and learning is not an isolated process but relies on community and collaboration.
3. Various learning theories are covered briefly, including cognitive apprenticeship and legitimate peripheral participation within a community of practice. Motivation, mindset, and overcoming challenges are also addressed.
PyCon Toronto 2013: EduPsych Theory for Python Hackers 2.0
A hacker's translation of engineering education graduate school.
How can we think about designing learning experiences? How do we understand ourselves as individual learners with distinct styles? How can we describe the way community interactions help us learn?
These questions -- and more -- are tackled and illustrated with examples from Python development (and occasional pictures of cats). If you're a hacker, you're already doing awesome learning stuff -- now learn a vocabulary you can use to talk about it!
Edupsych Theory for Hacker School: Summer 2013 edition
Based on my PyCon talk "EduPsych Theory for Python Hackers," here are the slides for my Summer 2013 Hacker School talk. The intent is to give this summer's batch of Hacker Schoolers ways to metacogitate about the self-directed learning they're embarking on.
Psst... Wanna Eavesdrop on My Research?
This document summarizes a presentation on transplanting practices from hacker culture and disability activism into qualitative research in education. The presentation models a "radically transparent research" approach through a live-edited document. Key aspects covered include: collecting interview data and licensing it openly; addressing IRB requirements; analyzing and disseminating findings through the live document; and discussing motivations for transparent research practices, including clarity, freedom, and building community.

Tech Talk on how and why students can get involved in open source projects. Delivered at Georgia Gwinnett College on March 22, 2013. (Note that there were several websites displayed in the browser that are not in the slides; however, the URLs of those sites are on the last slide of the deck.)
Digital signal processing through speech, hearing, and Python
Slides from PyCon 2013 tutorial reformatted for self-study. Code at https://github.com/mchua/pycon-sigproc, original description follows: Why do pianos sound different from guitars? How can we visualize how deafness affects a child's speech? These are signal processing questions, traditionally tackled only by upper-level engineering students with MATLAB and differential equations; we're going to do it with algebra and basic Python skills. Based on a signal processing class for audiology graduate students, taught by a deaf musician.
EduPsych Theory for Python Hackers: A Whirlwind Overview
This document is a summary of a presentation on educational psychology theory for Python programmers. The presentation discusses concepts like cognitive apprenticeships, communities of practice, Bloom's taxonomy, zone of proximal development, legitimate peripheral participation, and theories of motivation and learning styles. It uses examples of test-driven development in Python to illustrate these concepts. The presentation argues that accidental learning happens best in authentic communities, with mentoring and formative feedback to build self-efficacy.

Level-up Main Talk
The core deck of the "choose your own adventure" style talk at the 2011 Ohio LinuxFest. It's about using FOSS tools and practices to support life-gamification -- putting behavorial psychology to work on your brain as a platform. The talk was a nonlinear narrative; start with this deck, then whenever you hit a slide that says "Let's Play A Game," branch out to one of the other talks I've uploaded with the olf-2011 tag.
Take the A Train
A sample jazz slidedeck, used during the "Music Game" portion of my OLF talk (see other talks with the olf-2011tag) -- an example of how to repurpose simple FOSS tools (in this case, OpenOffice Impress) for lifehacking (in this case, auto-advance slides to help me memorize chords for a jazz piece I'm learning).
The Language Game
One of the "choose your own adventure" decks used during my 2011 Ohio LinuxFest talk, "Level-up with Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics: Turn your Life into a Data-Driven Video Game with FOSS," which is about using FOSS tools and practices to support life-gamification -- putting behavorial psychology to work on your brain as a platform.

The Invisible Traceback
The Invisible Traceback: blockers that make potential contributors drop out (and how to fix them) - originally presented at the 2009 Ontario Linux Festival.
Abstract:
Unix Philosophy #12, Rule of Repair: "When you must fail, fail noisily and as soon as possible." This applies to both code and culture; when someone gets stuck and hollers for help, they are helping their community find and fix a participation process bug. However, the new contributor on-ramp pipeline is particularly tricky to debug; potential participants often struggle in silence, giving you no indication of their presence, let alone why they were unable to begin working with your project community. We'll go over some common blockers that quietly prevent students (and other new contributors) from beginning to participate in open source, and how to fix them no matter who you are.
Beginners enthusiastically welcomed - this talk is for everyone who's ever wanted to contribute to open source as well as everyone who's ever wanted to help someone else get started. It took me over 6 years of banging my head against a solitary wall to figure out how to contribute back to open source (and it's been worth it); here's how to figure out (or help someone figure out) the same thing in 99.999% less time.

A proprietary approach developed by bringing together the best of learning theories from Psychology, design principles from the world of visualization, and pedagogical methods from over a decade of training experience, that enables you to: Learn better, faster!
7 Habits of Highly Effective People.pptx
Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.
