  1. Assessment Results:Media Computation and Robots • Media Computation: Computing through manipulating mediaAcross seven institutions, 100’s students: • Significant improvements in retention • No differences based on ethnicity nor gender. • Students report changing attitudes about computing. • Programming after the class is over. • IPRE: Computing through personal robotics • Suggestions of improvements in learning and retention • Students see class as about computer science (not robotics) • No differences in gender

  2. Assessment Challenges for Gaming in Computing Education • Is interest broad-based in the use of games as a context for computing? • Or is just for white boys? • Do students perceive that they are learning about computer science? • Are they computer scientists or game hackers? • Are students more positive about computer science after the class? • Or do the students only think that they’re about gaming? • Do the results generalize beyond n=20?
