CS50P Introduction to Programming with Python
https://cs50.harvard.edu/python/2022/
Session Abstract
Explore practical strategies for integrating Harvard University’s CS50P Introduction to Programming with Python into community college settings with insights from Bruce Elgort, a legally blind Computer Technology Professor at Clark College in Vancouver, Washington, USA. Bruce, renowned for teaching accessibility and universal design, seamlessly transitioned from the industry to teaching Web Development at the college. He blends material from CS50P with TiLT (Transparency in Learning and Teaching) principles to help students along their guided pathways.
CS50 is Harvard University’s introduction to the intellectual enterprises of computer science and the art of programming, for majors and non-majors alike, freely available as OpenCourseWare.
Utilizing these approaches, Bruce has also taught CS50 at the graduate school level at Portland State University for students enrolled in Professional and Technical Writing. This 10-minute session, with 5 minutes dedicated to questions and answers, delves into tailored instructional methods and innovative curriculum designs inspired by the support model of CS50 at Harvard University.
Learn about the CS50 tooling that aids instructors in optimizing resources, monitoring student progress, and customizing courses to meet diverse student needs, ensuring they are well-equipped for success in today’s technology-driven society. Join Bruce to uncover a forward-thinking approach to teaching CS50 at Clark College and beyond.
