Collaborative Research: Adapting and Extending WeBWorK for Use in the Computer Science Curriculum

计算机科学(31)这个项目正在改编和扩展NSF资助的关于网络工作网络评估系统的项目的材料，该网络评估系统最初是在罗切斯特大学开发的，以补充和加强核心计算机科学课程，这些课程涵盖统称为编程基础的主题(即基本编程结构、算法和解决问题、基本数据结构、递归和事件驱动编程)。该项目通过开发给学生提供编程基础知识的练习和反馈的问题来做到这一点，这需要扩大网络工作的范围，以支持更广泛的问题类型。通过这种网络增强，课程是：1)让学生积极参与在线学习，以增强所有核心计算机科学课程的传统做法；2)为学生提供即时和定制的反馈，了解他们在解决问题任务方面的进展；3)为学生提供针对他们遇到的任何问题领域的量身定做的建设性支持；以及4)为教师提供持续监控和评估学生工作的能力。

Computer Science (31)This project is adapting and extending materials from NSF-funded projects on the WeBWorK web-based assessment system, initially developed at the University of Rochester, to supplement and enhance the core computer science courses that cover the topics that are collectively known as Programming Fundamentals (i.e. fundamental programming constructs, algorithms and problem-solving, elementary data structures, recursion and event-driven programming). The project is doing this by developing problems that give students practice and feedback with programming fundamentals, which requires broadening the scope of WeBWorK to support a wider class of problem type. With this WeBWorK enhancement, the courses are: 1) engaging students in active online learning to augment traditional practices in all the core computer science courses; 2) supplying students with immediate and customized feedback on their progress with problem-solving tasks; 3) furnishing students with tailored and constructive support for any problem areas they encounter; and 4) providing instructors with the ability to continually monitor and assess student work.
