Community college corner: exploring CAP-space: the next frontier in curricula, assessment and pedagogy

The term 'Web 2.0' was officially coined in 2004 during a brainstorming session by Dale Doughtery, web pioneer and vice-president of O'Reilly Media Inc. Doughtery's coinage attempted to capture in a simple phrase something far more nebulous than an identified group of user-centered technologies: blogs, wikis, podcasts, RSS feeds, and social bookmarking to name just a few. In actuality, the term Web 2.0 embraces the larger notation of a socially connected, web-culture community. Based on the Web 2.0 philosophy of collaboration, contribution and community, the ACM Two-Year College Education Committee (TYCEC) will construct " CAP-Space " , an interactive information environment for computing educators, students, parents and advisors. In CAP-Space, educators will discover associate-degree computing Curricula, Assessment techniques and Pedagogical approaches in online communities of practice and research. Educators also will have the ability to make contributions to CAP-Space and to participate in online moderated settings for a variety of special interests (including specific associate-degree computing programs in computer science, information technology, computer engineering, software engineering and information systems). Until this point, associate-degree curricula guidelines have been conceived and distributed as linearly-crafted narratives documenting the two-year college environment, describing a specific curriculum and detailing course content. Subsequent " web versions " of these reports have proven to be meaningful extensions, but have not fully taken advantage of current web technologies nor have they addressed the complete breadth of needs of the user communities. CAP-Space will directly address and remedy these shortcomings. It is no longer adequate to provide curricular resources that merely speak to our constituents; such resources must now actively engage and vigorously serve our user communities. CAP-Space will address three other significant developments as well. First, while the strong emphasis in recent years to identify, codify and promote the five distinct sub-disciplines of computing (CS, SE, CE, IT, IS) has been a welcome addition to the conversation, the results have had a regrettable downside as well, namely to encourage silo-thinking, to isolate each sub-discipline from the others and to require educators, employees and practitioners alike to digest multiple curriculum reports and discern for themselves the commonalities. CAP-Space addresses this issue head-on by bringing into one shared environment the sweeping breadth of associate-degree computing programs, with the ability to discover in an instant the commonalities and distinctions among sub-discipline-specific degree programs. From Curriculum content to Assessment rubrics to Pedagogical strategies, CAP-Space will easily provide users with the ability to …
