教学大纲定义了课程的内容，以及其他信息，如资源和作业。在本文中，我们报告了我们的工作，建立一个跨大学的计算机科学课程的教学大纲库在美国。我们从我们最初收集的8000多个教学大纲中提供了一些统计数据。我们展示了一个与Moodle集成的教学大纲创建器[5] moodle_2006_moodle，一个开源的课程管理系统，它允许为特定的课程创建教学大纲。除其他信息外，它还包括来自2001年计算机课程知识体系的知识单元。教学大纲存储库的目标是为计算机科学教育社区提供附加值，我们提供了一些这样的产品。最后，我们提出了我们未来的计划大纲库。这些包括使用自动化技术来收集和分类教学大纲，在创建教学大纲时向教师提供建议，并允许社区自动共享他们的教学大纲。该教学大纲集将成为计算和信息技术交互式数字教育图书馆（CITIDEL）的一部分，该图书馆是国家科学数字图书馆（NSDL）的一个馆藏。
A syllabus defines the contents of a course, as well as other information such as resources and assignments. In this paper, we report on our work towards creating a syllabus repository of Computer Science courses across universities in the USA. We present some statistics from our initial collection of 8000+ syllabi. We show a syllabus creator that is integrated with Moodle [5] moodle_2006_moodle, an open-source course management system, which allows for the creation of a syllabus for a particular course. Among other information, it includes knowledge units from the Computing Curricula 2001 body of knowledge. The goal of the syllabus repository is to provide added value to the Computer Science Education community, and we present some such offerings. We conclude by presenting our future plans for the syllabus repository. These include using automated techniques to collect and classify syllabi, providing recommendations to instructors when creating a syllabus, and allowing the community to share their syllabi automatically. The syllabus collection will be part of the Computing and Information Technology Interactive Digital Educational Library (CITIDEL), a collection of the National Science Digital Library (NSDL).
