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.
Ethics and Legal Issues
- 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.
