Suggested materials for Computers and Society course for Computer Science majors?
Hello AoIR community, Our Computer Science and Engineering department at Oakland University is working on a new Computers and Society course and we're really excited about bringing this type of course to Computer Science students. *We’re looking for suggested course readings/materials* that broadly fit this course objective: “knowledge of the role that different cultural heritages (past and present) play in forming values in another part of the world, enabling the student to function in a global context.” Anything come to mind? We’ve also been constructing a list of topics that the course should cover; we welcome suggestions for additional topics or readings/materials/activities related to any of them that would be accessible to computer science students who have never considered this side of computing before. Explore how computers can play a role in ● bringing different cultural heritages to others. ● preserving and communicating cultural heritages. ● preserving and promoting low resource languages. ● preserving and promoting music and performance. ● creating exhibits and 3D models of museum artifacts. -- Douglas Zytko, PhD Assistant Professor of Human-Computer Interaction Director of Oakland HCI Lab Oakland University Department of Computer Science and Engineering dougzytko.com Engineering Center 544 115 Library Drive, <https://maps.google.com/?q=115+Library+Drive,%C2%A0+Rochester,+MI+48309&entry=gmail&source=g> Rochester, MI 48309 <https://maps.google.com/?q=115+Library+Drive,%C2%A0+Rochester,+MI+48309&entry=gmail&source=g>
This may not be quite what you're looking for, but there's quite a bit going on in terms of using technology to aid in the preservation of Australian Aboriginal languages: Here's some bits and pieces that might be of interest: Platform created by Aboriginal people for language conservation - https://www.miromaa.org.au/ There's a 'living archive' of Aboriginal Languages from the Northern Territory - https://livingarchive.cdu.edu.au/ You might already be aware of 'First Voices' - https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/firstvoices-keyboards/id1066651145 Good luck!

Thanks Corinne, and to all who have publicly or privately emailed me. (I’ve been thanking everyone through private emails so as not to flood the mailing list!). Any additional suggestions are welcomed, of course. I've been really enjoying the ones sent so far! -Doug On Mon, Mar 14, 2022 at 3:52 AM Corinne Cath <corinne@opentech.fund> wrote:
