What’s New?- Prof. Dan Garcia and I were awarded a California Education Learning Lab grant to collaborate with Prof. Alvaro Monge (CSU Long Beach) and Profs. Solomon Russell and Edwin Ambrosio (El Camino College) to develop question generators for CS courses that have overlapping content across the institutions, and evaluate the pedagogical efficacy of the mastery learning they will enable.
- Our 2009 paper Predicting Multiple Metrics for Queries: Better Decisions Enabled by Machine Learning (lead author: Archana Ganapathi, PhD 2010) was honored with the “test of time” 2019 ICDE Influential Paper Award!
- Slides, enlaces, y recursos relacionados con mi ponencia en MOOCMaker 2018, Medellín
- New Berkeley/edX Professional Certificate in Blockchain is announced, based on student-designed DeCal courses
- The UC system stands out among both public and private universities in both enrolling socioeconomically-disadvantaged students and graduating them.
- My musing on the role of new credentials like the edX MicroMasters in the higher ed ecosystem.
- Berkeley joins the NSF-funded FLIP Alliance to dramatically increase diversity in the CS Professoriate. As a Campus Equity Advisor and CS Graduate Admissions Diversity Officer, I'm part of the delegation to FLIP.
Who Am I?
- Research: Professor in the Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences Department at the University of California, Berkeley, working primarily in the area of technology-enhanced education with the ACE Lab. ACM Distinguished Scientist and IEEE Senior Member.
- Education: Winner of the 2015 ACM Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award for my efforts in scaling software engineering education, Faculty Advisor for Digital Learning Strategy (including the MOOCLab), Berkeley Digital Pedagogy Fellow and Certified Online Facilitator
- Writing: Co-author (with Prof. Dave Patterson) of the award-winning software engineering textbook Engineering Software as a Service: An Agile Approach Using Cloud Computing, and the co-creator of the longest-running MOOCs on edX on this topic. Also the author of a book on music direction for the theater.
- Diversity in CS: UC Berkeley Equity Advisor, CS Graduate Diversity Officer, UC Berkeley representative in CMD-IT FLIP Alliance, faculty sponsor of CS Scholars program (here’s my 2-minute video pitch for Scholars). As a Cuban-American (long ago, my father’s family owned the Tropicana), I am particularly passionate about diversity in CS and about the value of education, as my mom’s memoirs suggest.
- Music and Theater: I’ve served as Music Director for many shows, have served on theaters’ Boards and Advisory Boards, and have provided both technology and tech advice to several arts organizations as well. Read more
