Collaborative Research: Alice and Media Computation

这个项目，合作研究：Alice和媒体计算，正在创建一个基于java的计算机科学入门课程，结合了Alice编程和媒体计算的证明方法。智力优势：该项目正在开发一门课程，该课程使用基于Alice和mediaccomputation的新示例，呈现与典型入门计算课程相同的概念。学生们正在使用Alice探索编程的算法推理，并使用Media Computation学习Java的语法。更广泛的影响：该项目利用了两种创新方法的优势，这两种方法在吸引和培养计算机科学专业的学生方面取得了成功。这种综合方法使用了由最初的独立项目开发和验证的方法，以扩大计算机科学对无代表群体的吸引力，并增加有风险的学生的成功。该项目的成果正在通过一系列六个夏季讲习班进行传播。

Computer Science (31)This project, Collaborative Research: Alice and Media Computation, iscreating a Java-based introductory CS curriculum combining the provenapproaches of Alice programming and Media Computation.Intellectual Merit: This project is developing a course whichpresents the same concepts found in typical introductorycomputing courses using new examples based on Alice and MediaComputation. Students are using Alice to explore the algorithmic reasoning ofprogramming and learning the syntax of Java using Media Computation.Broader Impacts: This project is leveraging the strengths of twoinnovative approaches that have been successful in attracting andretaining students in computer science. The combined approach isusing methods, developed and validated by the originalindependent projects, to broaden the appeal of computer science toless-represented groups, and increase the success of at-riskstudents. The results of the project are being disseminated througha series of six summer workshops.
