    Dr. Tony Wong (RIT) & Matthew Dunham

    In this mini-talk, we will discuss the theory behind computational literacy, including how it adds to other frameworks like Computational Thinking. We will describe how we used interviews with students and faculty, scaffolded by student computational course work in Jupyter notebooks, to assess students' development of their Computational Literacy.
