The Computational Science Education Reference Desk

由州和国家级的研究和教学机构、少数群体服务机构、社区组织和高性能计算中心组成的国家伙伴关系正在为高质量、有效的计算科学教材提供管理。此NSDL路径项目的主要活动包括评估、修改、收集、标记和(在可获得权利的情况下)归档Web上可用的基于计算模型的不断增长的材料中的精华。该项目还提供：1)为NSDL用户、内容创建者和馆藏维护人员提供添加和注释馆藏的机制；2)为内容创建者提供经同行评审的出版渠道；3)为馆藏维护人员提供培训和技术援助；以及4)为教育工作者提供基础设施，以将不同的学习对象绑定到与国家和国家标准绑定的功能单元中。计算科学教育参考台的最初受众是本科教师和他们的学生，包括未来的科学家和工程师以及未来的教师。该项目还预计将对在职教师及其中等和中学学生以及终身学习者产生直接影响。

A national partnership involving research and teaching institutions, a minority serving institution, community-based organizations, and high performance computing centers at the state and national level is providing stewardship for high-quality, effective computational science educational materials. Primary activities of this NSDL Pathways project include evaluating, modifying, collecting, tagging, and (where rights can be obtained) archiving the best of the growing body of computational model based materials that are available on the Web. The project is also providing: 1) mechanisms for NSDL users, content creators, and collection maintainers to add to and annotate the collection; 2) an outlet for peer reviewed publication for content creators; 3) training and technical assistance to collection maintainers; and 4) an infrastructure for educators to bind disparate learning objects into functional units tied to state and national standards. The initial audiences for the Computational Science Education Reference Desk are undergraduate faculty and their students, both future scientists and engineers and future teachers. The project also expects to have a direct impact on in-service teachers and their students in intermediate and secondary schools, as well as life-long learners.
