NSF Creative IT Workshop

最近，结合计算机科学、信息技术和创造力的跨学科研究大量增加。本次研讨会汇集了由国家科学基金会CreativeIT计划资助的研究人员，讨论与以下主题相关的进展，研究问题和未来：理解创造性认知和计算。在这一领域的研究导致认知模型，作为创造力的计算模型的灵感，支持人类的创造力，以及教育人们更具创造力的方法。创造力刺激科学和工程的突破。该领域考虑艺术家在开发新技术，发现信息新模式，以及寻找新的方法来看待，了解和做计算机和信息科学与工程方面的作用和表现。鼓励创造力的教育方法。该领域考虑了广泛的教学方法，鼓励创造力：多学科教学和学习，设计工作室教学，通过制作和实践的技能发展，以及开放式的基于问题的学习。用信息技术支持创造力。该领域开发新的软件和用户界面，以支持用户更具创造性，并通过用户研究评估其表现，无论是在受控环境中进行实证研究，还是在复杂问题或人种学研究的背景下。

There has been a recent large increase in interdisciplinary research that combines work in computer science, information technology, and creativity. This workshop brings together the researchers that have been funded by the CreativeIT program at the National Science Foundation to discuss advances, research issues, and the future related to the following topics:Understanding Creative Cognition and Computation. Research in this area leads to cognitive models that serve as inspiration for computational models of creativity, support for human creativity, and approaches for educating people to be more creative. Creativity to Stimulate Breakthroughs in Science and Engineering. This area considers the role and performance of artists in developing new technologies, discovering new patterns in information, and in finding new ways of seeing, knowing, and doing computer and information science and engineering. Educational Approaches that Encourage Creativity. This area considers a broad range of approaches to teaching that encourages creativity: multi-disciplinary teaching and learning, design studio teaching, skills development through making and doing, and open-ended problem-based learning. Supporting Creativity with Information Technology. This area both develops new software and user interfaces to support users in being more creative and evaluates their performance through user studies either in controlled environments with empirical studies or in the context of a complex problem or situation with ethnographic studies.
