Providing and Integrating Educational Resources for Faculty Teaching Artificial Intelligence

这项提议是在1994年举办的同名讲习班的基础上提出的。它建议为两年制和四年制学院的教师举办三次教师强化研讨会。每个研讨会在6月份持续6天，然后在11月份举行为期一天的“反思”研讨会。每个拟议的讲习班的目标是让两年制和四年制学院的教师接触到可用于教授本科生人工智能入门课程的资源，以及有效利用这些资源的一些方法。要解决的主要问题包括：(1)获取可用的资源；(2)利用资料库材料和网络设施将课堂讲课与实验室会议和作业结合起来；(3)调整和扩展现有的教学材料；(4)改善教师和学生之间以及学生之间的学习与合作；(5)在不同机构的教师之间建立和保持合作安排；(6)评估各种利用资源的教学方法的有效性。每个研讨会都是在前一个研讨会制作的教学档案袋的基础上进行的。教学档案袋，可通过MOSAIC访问，包括各种教学材料(如教学大纲、课堂计划、练习、项目、讨论主题)以及互联网上可用的工具、程序和其他材料的参考资料。

This proposal builds upon a workshop by the same title being run in 1994. It proposes three faculty enhancement workshops for instructors in two and four year colleges. Each workshop runs for six days in June followed by a one day "reflection" workshop in November. The goal of each proposed workshop is to provide instructors in two and four year colleges an exposure to resources available to teach the undergraduate introductory course in Artificial Intelligence and some approaches for their effective utilization. Major topics to be addressed include how to (1) obtain available resources, (2) integrate classroom lectures, with laboratory sessions and assignments using repository materials and network facilities, (3) adapt and extend the available pedagogic material, (4) improve learning and cooperation between instructors and their students, and between students, (5) establish and maintain cooperative arrangements between instructors at different institutions, (6) assess the effectiveness of various pedagogic methods for using the resources. Each workshop builds upon the Teaching Portfolio produced in the preceding workshop. The Teaching Portfolio, accessible using Mosaic, includes a variety of pedagogic materials (e.g. syllabi, class-plans, exercises, projects, discussion topics) and references to tools, programs, and other materials available on the internet.
