    Study Notes

    Collaboration and Crowdsourcing

    • Users can provide feedback to inform program design and development, understanding diverse perspectives.
    • Group work can suffer from communication issues if members are isolated.
    • Testing is essential, even with effective collaborators, ensuring expected outcomes.
    • Crowdsourcing gathers input from many people online, improving applications.
    • User contributions can provide real-time traffic updates (e.g., accidents, closures).

    Collaboration Example

    • Scenario: Students collaborated on a presentation using Google Docs.
    • Activities: Real-time writing, feedback comments, tracking contributions.
    • Benefits: Easy collaboration across locations, improved alignment, reduced errors.

    Crowdsourcing Example

    • Scenario: Waze uses crowdsourced traffic updates.
    • User contributions: Accident reporting, road closure details, speed trap warnings.
    • Benefits: Real-time map, detailed traffic information, improvements through community input.
    • Creative Commons: Using someone else's material ethically and legally requires permission, even under licenses.
    • Privacy Concerns: Unauthorized use of personal data can have legal and ethical repercussions.
    • Examples: Facial recognition technology raise concerns about user privacy, consent, and surveillance.

    Bias and Inclusivity

    • Avoiding Bias: Using representative data samples to reduce bias and ensure inclusivity.
    • Addressing Bias: Recognizing representation differences across communities, incorporating diverse perspectives when designing products.
    • Inclusivity Solutions: Examples of inclusive design in video games (character choices, accessibility features) addressing inclusivity issues.

    Variables and Programming Logic

    • Data Types: Numeric variables represent numbers, Booleans represent true/false, strings represent text.
    • Meaningful Variable Names: Using descriptive names for clarity and maintainability.
    • Example Problem (with variables): Calculating values, variables.

    Compression

    • Lossless Compression: Preserves data, offers exact reconstruction.
    • Lossy Compression: Reduces file size but permanently discards some data.

    Data Representation

    • Binary Numbers: Data represented in 0s and 1s, with each bit having a specific power of 2.
    • Overflow: Erroneous output when the range of numbers in binary form is exceeded.
    • Analog Data: Smoothly changing data.
    • Digital Data: Discrete values, measured at specific intervals.
