  • Interdisciplinary Collaborative Learning with Modular Programming and Information Visualization of Urban Smart Spaces


Chung-Hsiang Wang, Ko-Chiu Wu

Abstract

The purpose of this research is for interdisciplinary students, with the theme of smart city space, how to conduct collaborative learning on thinking, identification, and strategies for programming and visualization issues, to develop an intelligent interactive interface between users and environmental data. We have set up an interdisciplinary course on “Interactive Smart Space Design”, which combines the fields of interactive design, engineering, electrical machinery, and electronics, trying to introduce unmanned aerial vehicle simulation path, modular programming, and information visualization modules into the course to conduct programming and computational thinking learning, guiding students to conceive and design, and in-depth development of programs and development practices. Finally, analyze and evaluate the learning effect through the work report and Expert assessment. The results show that the modular programming method is more suitable for students with low information ability, and the information visualization performs better in the later stage of the project, reflecting the actual staged division of labour in the industry. The interdisciplinary collaborative learning process can reflect and revise problem points in the process of thematic decision-making, but coordination and division of labour impact team cooperation.
