CPATH CB: A Community Addressing Seamless Information Technology Education for Students (CSITES)

CSITES将建立一个来自马萨诸塞州、弗吉尼亚州和印第安纳州的从业者社区，他们正在积极努力定义和实施新的模式，提供从2年到4年的无缝推进。 CSITES团队将召集三个地区的相关管理人员，教师和当地业务合作伙伴，研究当前的转移模式（成功和不成功），确定示范框架（例如SIGITE示范IT课程中确定的共同学习成果），并确定导致增强向上发展的变量。通过调查阶段收集的信息，CSITES小组将提供有关正在使用的2年和4年制示范课程实施战略的过程文件。 将研究和记录处理课程不断变化的有效方法。 评估标准，以确定与确定的变量相关的解决方案的有效性将被开发和应用到收集的数据对学生的进步，以衡量模型的成功。 将在这三个区域中的每一个区域举行利益攸关方峰会，以传播关于已确定的有效转让模式的信息。有助于无缝社区学院/大学转移的属性汇编将被组装成一个可复制的模型，并提供给全国各地的其他学校。

CSITES will build a community of practitioners from Massachusetts, Virginia and Indiana who are actively working to define and implement new models that provide for seamless advancement from 2-year to 4-year programs. Convening relevant administrators, faculty, and local business partners within each of the three regions, the CSITES team will research current transfer models (successful and unsuccessful), identify exemplary frameworks (such as common learning outcomes identified in SIGITE's model IT curriculum) and identify the variables that lead to enhanced upward progression.With information gathered during the investigative stage, the CSITES team will provide process documentation regarding the model 2 and 4-year curriculum implementation strategies in use. Efficient ways to deal with ongoing changes in the curricula will be researched and documented. Evaluative criteria to determine the effectiveness of the solutions associated with identified variables will be developed and applied to data collected on student advancement to measure the success of the models. Summits for stakeholders will be held in each of the three regions to disseminate information about identified effective transfer models. The compilation of attributes that contribute to seamless community college/university transfer will be assembled into a replicable model and made available to other schools around the country.
