Speakers: Prof. Dr. Aydın Köksal

Informatics Institute Web Conference Series

I followed Prof. Dr. Aydın Köksal’s presentation Adı Bilgisayar Olsun: Keeping Pace with the Digital Revolution, part of the Gazi University Informatics Institute web conference series.

Turkish Computing Terminology

Terms such as bilgisayar (computer), yazılım (software) and bilişim (informatics) are relevant not only to translation but also to technical education and the consistent communication of ideas across disciplines.

Education and Digital Transformation

Digital transformation encompasses software, algorithms, data and the ability to reason about computational systems; it cannot be reduced to wider access to hardware. The presentation provided a historical and linguistic perspective on the development of computing education in Türkiye.
