Prince George's Community College, Largo, MD, is creating an institution-wide reform of courses and curricula with the goal of increasing our students' technological literacy and skills and their understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of the natural sciences, mathematics, social sciences, and technologies.Under the leadership of the college's Vice President for Instruction who is serving as the project director, six faculty members have been selected to serve as the Alpha Team to design the first set of modules for their respective disciplines. These modules utilize technology, have interdisciplinary character, and are capable of spawning other curriculum products across the college. In Year II, faculty members are competing to become members of the college's Beta Team which adapt, adopt, and refine the modules and the related technologies that have been developed by Alpha Team members. The college is providing release time for these Beta Team members. The college then continues to provide release time for additional faculty who are competing to develop technology-rich, interdisciplinary modules in Years III and IV.During Year I, over 3,000 students/semester are being impacted by these technology-rich modules. It is envisioned that, through the use of release time from the college, these curricular innovations are reaching over 7,000 students per semester by the end of Year IV.To prepare for this curriculum reform, the college has strengthened its technology professional development program for faculty and enhanced its infrastructure through addition of more hardware, software, technical staff, and additional computer classrooms and laboratories.

乔治王子社区学院，拉哥，MD，正在创建一个机构范围内的课程和课程的改革，以提高我们的学生的技术素养和技能，以及他们对自然科学，数学，社会科学和技术的跨学科性质的理解为目标。在学院的教学副校长的领导下，谁是担任项目主任，六名教师已被选为阿尔法团队，为各自的学科设计第一套模块。这些模块利用技术，具有跨学科的特点，并能够在整个学院产生其他课程产品。在第二年，教师们正在竞争成为大学的Beta团队的成员，该团队适应，采用和完善由Alpha团队成员开发的模块和相关技术。学院正在为这些Beta团队成员提供释放时间。然后，学院继续为其他教师提供释放时间，这些教师正在竞争在第三年和第四年开发技术丰富的跨学科模块，在第一年，超过3,000名学生/学期受到这些技术丰富的模块的影响。据设想，通过使用从学院的释放时间，这些课程的创新是达到每学期超过7,000名学生的第四年年底。为了准备这一课程改革，学院加强了教师的技术专业发展计划，并通过增加更多的硬件，软件，技术人员，和额外的计算机教室和实验室，加强其基础设施。
