Research Sources: CPCOM

I have decided to evaluate CPCOM located on the Tempe campus next to the bookstore. I had decided to evaluate CPCOM because I find it interesting and I would like to know why we have a building like this. This building is important to the students of ASU where not only does this building offer aid with computer need but also gives security to the students through their e-mail. The topic I wanted to propose is that it is not only a computer lab but also an advancement to the learning environment to students. I will evaluate the effectiveness of the Building and what it offers ie the tech studio and the learning of the students.  I have acquired the sources Display Computers by Lisa Min-Yi Chen Smith Doctor of Philosophy at Texas A&M. I also have acquired Learning styles: individualizing computer based learning environments by Anne Groat and Tim Musson of Napier University. Dr. Smith's dissertation is 279 pages while the other is about 10 pages.  Dr. Smith's dissertation deals with the uses of a computer while the other paper deals with the learning styles with a computer her statement of,"Display Computers are for everyone. No one will be left behind. If you can “see” a Display Computer, you can access it" (Smith 2). I find these sources interesting because they are critical to my topic that the CPCOM building is important  to the students of ASU because we are learning while advancing as a generation in the digital age. We use our computers for everything we like to check our facebook every hour so not only do we use computers to be social but also we use the computers to learn. There are programs that are installed on the computer that we use to learn like learning studios.

To summarize, I have decided to evaluate CPCOM proposing the topic of the building is an advancement of learning and computer human interface. I wanted to do this topic because I plan on having my major in Computer Information Systems .This building is also a security center that gives students protection in defense against computer threats. I have used the sources  Display Computers by Lisa Min-Yi Chen Smith and Learning styles: individualizing computer based learning environments by Anne Groat and Tim Musson. Both of these are scholoary and I have also used the ASU website as another source. These  sources will help me in my proposal in saying that the CPCOM building is an advancement in the learning environment. In Dr. Smith's dissertation of Display Computers, she states,"Display Computers are for everyone. No one will be left behind. If you can “see” a Display Computer, you can access it" (Smith 2).
That statement holds true to the Building of CPCOM.
