OverviewThe advent of relatively affordable computing and telecommunications has made possible a sequence of dramatic changes in colleges and schools. This book is intended to draw attention to the potential role that technology can play in helping schools and colleges transform teaching and learning through design-based curricula. Observations and recommendations are based on practice rather than on theory. This collection of essays conveys a promise that education can become an activity dominated less by the lecturer and powered more by students able to spend their time working on the challenging, creative activities known as designing. Topics discussed include: using professional tools to transform the curriculum; developing tools for novice designers; learning to think like a designer; next steps; the future of CAD; software to improve academic writing; algorithm designing; and laboratories for science experiments.
