Information Science and Systems (33)This project addresses the need for access to educational opportunities enabling anyone to become fluent in information technology as defined by the 1999 National Research Council's report "Being Fluent with Information Technology" which defined what Skills, Concepts, and Capabilities everyone should possess for work, citizenship and personal benefit. This project is creating BeneFIT100, a free, online self-study version for independent learners, based upon the fluency course first developed at the University of Washington in 1999. Developed with high production values, the course includes all the labs and projects of the successful classroom version. To reach students not sophisticated enough for a self-study approach, we also offer an instructor-mediated version of BeneFIT100. We address the need for a Fluency instructor corps by using BeneFIT100 and a specialized workshop to train a nationally selected cohort of future Fluency instructors. Thus, the project creates a new, unique resource of international importance, and demonstrates leveraging it for teacher training.

信息科学与系统（33）该项目解决了获得教育机会的需求，使任何人都能熟练掌握信息技术，这是1999年国家研究委员会的报告“熟练掌握信息技术”所定义的，该报告定义了每个人在工作、公民身份和个人利益方面应该具备的技能、概念和能力。这个项目基于1999年华盛顿大学首次开发的流利课程，为独立学习者创建了一个免费的在线自学版本BeneFIT100。该课程具有很高的制作价值，包括所有成功的课堂版本的实验和项目。为了达到学生不够成熟的自学方法，我们还提供了一个教师介导版本的BeneFIT100。我们通过使用BeneFIT100和一个专门的研讨会来培养全国范围内的未来流利教师队伍，以满足对流利教师队伍的需求。因此，该项目创造了一种具有国际重要性的新的、独特的资源，并展示了如何利用它进行教师培训。
