Computational Methods for the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences

SC Education Program/NCSI Summer 2007 Workshop Series

  • July 29th through August 4th, 2007 at the San Diego Supercomputer Center.

Presentation Technology

All of the presentations are being captured via the CI Channel. This stream will be simulcast within SDSC during the workshop and archived on the CI Channel.

In order for the content to be captured correctly a few simple guidelines should be followed by each presenter:

  • Anything that displays on the presenter's screen is captured: visualizations, movies, sound, computer code, etc.
  • All keyboard and mouse interaction is captured and played back.
  • If displaying code or text increase the font size to 18 points or more.
  • Choose color schemes with care and avoid light pastel colors.
  • Avoid using a laser pointer, rather use the cursor within the application to point out items. Using the cursor means that it is caputred in the video stream.

Schedule

This schedule still subject to minor adjustments to fit presenter schedules, facility availability, etc.

All sessions will be in SDSC Room 279. We'll also use some nearby space in the Social Sciences (conference room 108) and other spaces for the parallel sessions and tutorials.

This session is a discussion of game innovation, with examples of projects that address innovative subject matter, inspire activism, promote learning, and experiment with games as an expressive medium. Tracy Fullerton is an Assistant Professor in the Interactive Media Division of the USC School of Cinema-Television and Co-Director of the EA Game Innovation Lab.

While some of these residents are academics, many are amateur scholars who are engaged in serious leisure activities. This session will explore the museums, libraries and archaeological sites found in Second Life as an introduction the potential of multi-user virtual environments for HASS. The question for us to reflect on is: "How do we get from here to a MUVE cyberinfrastructure?"

Most SciCentr programs run in a universe of virtual worlds, CTCUni. Corbit has been working with talented professional and undergraduate student staff at Cornell on science communication and education projects for the past 15 years. Team projects include online science books and interactive simulations and games about computational science, K-12 interfaces to online science tools, a prototype game world featuring transposable elements, and the highly successful SciFair program. She also lectures in Computing and Information Science and Fine Arts at Cornell.
  • 3:00 pm - Break
    • 3:30-5:00 pm - Noah Wardrip-Fruin (UCSD) - Building on Commercial Game Platforms: An Example - This will be a short hands-on introduction to Aurora, a game building tool distributed at no additional cost with the Windows version of the original Neverwinter Nights game (now widely available for less than $20 per copy). Aurora has attracted a broad community of game builders - mostly interested members of the public, but also professional educators, artists, and others. Building on a commercial platform demands much less in the way of resources than developing a game from scratch, but also requires working within the logics embedded in the platform. To make this concrete, we will work through part of a simple Aurora module builder tutorial, creating spaces, interconnecting them, and perhaps populating them with speaking characters.
