VillanovaLIKES Vision
The vision for the LIKES project is to build a community that will lead the way to make systemic changes in how computing concepts are taught in both computing-related disciplines and the disciplines of the broader workforce and society. Revitalizing education in computing-related disciplines is necessary to reach a broader audience of potential students and produce a larger number of professionals with the computing competencies and skills that are imperative to designing and building the innovations of the future.
The needs of the Knowledge Society also require improvements in the computing competencies and skills of people in all disciplines. This is due to the pervasive and growing needs for computing in society.

VillanovaOverview
NSF CPATH Project supporting the interaction of computing and non-computing disciplines to enhance the understanding and use of computing concepts throughout society.

Transform Computer Science Education
Find Interesting Problems to Bring into Computing Courses to Provide Opportunities for Learning in Context
For example, in Database class students could:See the value of hierarchical data structures to biology
by representing the taxonomy of species.See the value of hierarchical data structures to
political science and management by representing the organization chart of the executive branch of U.S. government.
Such pedagogy would clearly delineate the computing concept and problem domains, increase the ability to identify situations for application of the concept, and provide valuable experience in test data design.

Transform Computer Science Education
Bring a Service Culture to Computing DisciplinesStudents in project classes or independent studies
develop LIKES education modules working with core course faculty.
This results in computing discipline students helping non-computing discipline students to learn computing concepts.
OPEN philosophy and approach followed to publish all LIKES modules.
Students think about how to teach others.Students experience the “joy” of service.
Needed Benefits:Attract more students to computer science, information
systems, and information technology disciplines. Improve retention of students.

Transform Computing Education for non-Majors
Infusing the Core Curriculum with Key Computing Concepts
Matrix of Core Area Courses by Computing ConceptsA cell contains an Education Module
that teaches the computing concept in the context of the core area course.
An Education Module consists of everything needed to teach the computing concept, e.g., lecture slides, assignments, grading rubric, downloads, specialized program, etc.
