The thrust of this project is to attack problems faced by institutions of providing a high quality introductory computer science curriculum while developing strategies to better utilize the potential of student interaction in their learning process. This project brings together a diverse group of 30 computer science educators for an ongoing process in the application of peer learning to the introductory areas of Computer Science education. Invited participants will address problems of teaching introductory courses by this peer learning process (ie., students learning in collaboration, and with some faculty guidance). This forum provides a hands-on environment for using and developing activities with this method. Outcomes from the work include the instructional materials produced along with a common assessment of their application to the faculty members home Computer Science program. A final report will be produced at a follow-up workshop in the 2nd year, and made widely available to the CS community through the WWW.

该项目的主旨是攻击机构提供高质量的计算机科学入门课程所面临的问题，同时制定策略，以更好地利用学生在学习过程中的互动潜力。 该项目汇集了30名计算机科学教育工作者的不同群体，正在将同伴学习应用于计算机科学教育的入门领域。 受邀参加者将通过这种同伴学习过程（即，学生在合作学习，并与一些教师的指导）。 这个论坛提供了一个使用和开发这种方法的活动的实践环境。 工作成果包括沿着的教学材料，以及对教师家庭计算机科学课程应用的共同评估。 最后报告将在第二年的后续讲习班上编写，并通过万维网广泛提供给CS社区。
