Restructuring Computer Programming Courses for IT-Enabled Variable Paced Multilevel Learning

计算机科学(31)我们正在开发计算机科学入门课程的彻底重组和重组，它汇集资源，区分每个学科领域的知识水平，以适应不同学生的需要，允许可变进度的学习(不是“自定进度”)，并将IT用作教学工具和处理课程管理。我们正在开发基于Web的学习模块，涵盖Bloom的三个技术知识分类水平的课程材料：适合信息系统和数字媒体专业需要的更低水平；计算机工程专业的更高技术水平；和计算机科学家的最高技术水平。这些模块使学生在有监督的环境中参与积极的参与学习活动。同时，我们在课程授课中保留了许多传统元素，如小组问题解决课程和受监督的实验室、办公时间和每周截止日期。课程管理工具用于组织在线材料，跟踪不同级别和进度的学生作业，并通过自动测验、调查和数据挖掘提供学生反馈。在线提交作业和退还已评分的作业可以最大限度地减少管理大型课程的管理工作，并使教师能够更多地关注学生和他们的学习。

Computer Science (31) We are developing a radical recombination and restructuring of introductory level computer science courses that pools resources, differentiates knowledge levels in each subject area to fit the needs of different students, allows variable paced learning (not "self-paced"), and uses IT both as a teaching tool and to handle course administration.We are developing Web-based learning modules covering the course material at three Bloom's taxonomy levels of technical knowledge: a more minimal level suitable for the needs of information systems and digital media majors; a more technical level for computer engineering majors; and the highest technical level for computer scientists.These modules engage students in active, participatory learning activities in a supervisedenvironment. Simultaneously we retain many traditional elements in course delivery, such as group problem-solving sessions and supervised labs, office hours, and weekly deadlines. Course management tools are used to organize on-line materials, track student work at varying levels and paces, and provide student feedback through automated quizzes, surveys, and data mining. Online submission of homework and return of graded homework minimizes the administrative efforts involved in administering large courses and allows faculty to focus more on the students and their learning.
