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有了很大的增长。本次研讨会汇集了由美国国家科学基金会CreativeIT项目资助的研究人员，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。这一领域的研究产生了认知模型，这些模型为创造力的计算模型提供了灵感，为人类创造力提供了支持，并为教育人们更有创造力提供了方法。激发科学与工程突破的创造力。这个领域考虑了艺术家在开发新技术，发现信息中的新模式，以及寻找观察，了解和从事计算机和信息科学与工程的新方法方面的作用和表现。鼓励创造力的教育方法。这个领域考虑了广泛的教学方法，鼓励创造力：多学科的教学和学习，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。以资讯科技支持创意。这个领域既开发新的软件和用户界面，以支持用户更有创造力，也通过用户研究来评估他们的表现，无论是在受控的环境中进行实证研究，还是在复杂的问题或情况下进行民族志研究。

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.
