Scott Klemmer Keynote 2

What are interesting things that we can do with computers and teaching – 2011
Objective truth <-> Contextual truth
Design is in the middle, between objective and subjective truth
The act of assessing work is a good way to improve understanding
Problem finding as opposed to problem solving
“A negotiation around the valuation criteria” Jeff Nicholson
Negotiations also happen between the creators and the users, particularly in software design. The initial design is the starting point of that journey
What counts as preferred shifts over time
Talkabout – The subway model. Pick a time that you’re going to show up, and we’ll put you in a group. Small groups discuss topics.
Assigning to globally diverse discussion groups increase grades by greater amounts than more local, less diverse groups. Open-ended questions

Participated in the panel on innovation in crowds (invited). There is a video, so I can figure out who to add:

Eszter Hargitti – U of Zurich

When Ties Bind And When Ties Divide: The Effects Of Communication Networks On Group Processes And Performance

Enhancing Collective Intelligence of Human-Machine Teams

Cognitive and ethnic diversity predict collective intelligence
Group structure, high level communication and equality of communication
It’s the quality of the individuals and the quality of the connections
Coordination technologies – connect humans

Implicit Coordination in Peer Production Networks

Collective Intelligence Systems for Analogical Search (must read! Joel Chan is at UMD)

Really interesting, worth reading. Purpose and mechanism may be related to belief spaces. Definitely trainable using NN to find purpose mechanism

Rational Collective Learning in the Laboratory

Groupthink. as a failure of design
Randomy constructed groups can make good design choices given failing parts with a history.
