We consider which of these categories appear comparable with nonlecture classes in other disciplines, and which appear distinctive to computing. An awareness of this range of approach...

I propose a demonstration of two telepresence robots, one floor model (VGo) and one tabletop model (KUBI). In this proposal, I describe the technology and briefly summarize the research that led to the purchase of the robots. The res...
