[Air-L] Suggested materials for Computers and Society course for Computer Science majors?

[Amy Mowle]

This may not be quite what you're looking for, but there's quite a bit going on in terms of using technology to aid in the preservation of Australian Aboriginal languages:

Here's some bits and pieces that might be of interest:

Platform created by Aboriginal people for language conservation - https://www.miromaa.org.au/
There's a 'living archive' of Aboriginal Languages from the Northern Territory - https://livingarchive.cdu.edu.au/

You might already be aware of 'First Voices' - https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/firstvoices-keyboards/id1066651145

Good luck! 


Amy

Hello AoIR community,

Our Computer Science and Engineering department at Oakland University is working on a new Computers and Society course and we're really excited about bringing this type of course to Computer Science students. *We’re looking for suggested course readings/materials* that broadly fit this course objective: “knowledge of the role that different cultural heritages (past and present) play in forming values in another part of the world, enabling the student to function in a global context.” Anything come to mind?

We’ve also been constructing a list of topics that the course should cover; we welcome suggestions for additional topics or readings/materials/activities related to any of them that would be accessible to computer science students who have never considered this side of computing before.

Explore how computers can play a role in ● bringing different cultural heritages to others.
● preserving and communicating cultural heritages.
● preserving and promoting low resource languages.
● preserving and promoting music and performance.
● creating exhibits and 3D models of museum artifacts.
