SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON HUMAN-CENTERED INFORMATIC...

Translating Euclid reports on an effort to transform geometry for students from a
stylus-and-clay-tablet corpus of historical theorems to a stimulating computer-supported
collaborative-learning inquiry experience. The origin of geometry was a turning point in the
pre-history of informatics  literacy  and rational thought. Yet  this triumph of human
intellect became ossified through historic layers of systematization  beginning with Euclid's
organization of the Elements of geometry. Often taught by memorization of procedures  theorems
and proofs  geometry in schooling rarely conveys its underlying intellectual excitement. The
recent development of dynamic-geometry software offers an opportunity to translate the study of
geometry into a contemporary vernacular. However  this involves transformations along multiple
dimensions of the conceptual and practical context of learning. Translating Euclid steps
through the multiple challenges involved in redesigning geometry education to take advantage of
computer support. Networked computers portend an interactive approach to exploring dynamic
geometry as well as broadened prospects for collaboration. The proposed conception of geometry
emphasizes the central role of the construction of dependencies as a design activity 
integrating human creation and mathematical discovery to form a human-centered approach to
mathematics. This book chronicles an iterative effort to adapt technology  theory  pedagogy and
practice to support this vision of collaborative dynamic geometry and to evolve the approach
through on-going cycles of trial with students and refinement of resources. It thereby provides
a case study of a design-based research effort in computer-supported collaborative learning
from a human-centered informatics perspective.
