  1. Comparing UCWISE and Online Universities Project Proposal Ketrina Yim CS260: Human-Centered Computing 2/11/2009

  2. What is UCWISE? • UCWISE is a web-based learning system • Ongoing education research project • Currently used to teach lab-based lower-division CS courses (CS3, CS61B)

  3. Higher Education Online • Examples: University of Phoenix, Regis University • Systems are developed professionally • While UCWISE may exemplify education research, these are commercially proven to work

  4. The Approach • Compare and contrast UCWISE to computer science courses offered by specific online universities • Examining user reviews • User interface analysis • Tie-ins with the course • Human learning in computer science education • Vygotsky and Piaget’s theories on learning • Activity theory

  5. Learning Expectations • Explore principles behind both systems • Determine strengths and limitations of both UCWISE and online universities • Discover possible improvements that can be made to UCWISE • Project success could be assessed by the knowledge obtained from the comparison
