CPATH CB: Building a Platform for Learning - A Learner Centered Approach to Computer Science Education

题目：CPATH CB：建立一个学习平台，以学习者为中心的计算机科学教育方法CPATH项目建立了一个社区，将学习平台模型整合到本科生的计算机教育中。该模型基于领先大学电气工程教育中成功使用的类似范例。课程修订基于四个主要主题：多核编程、图形和动画、软件工程基础和开源贡献。该项目的一个关键要素是继续开发和评估开源社区的代码存储库，以支持软件开发和学习者的学生社区以及其他机构的更广泛的学术社区。该项目包括俄勒冈州以及全国范围内的大学、社区学院和行业合作伙伴的社区外展。它还包括发展一个由学生、教师和其他学科的专业人员参与非传统跨学科项目的实践社区。通过在全国妇女和信息技术中心联盟会议和其他全国会议上组织活动，开展全国外联活动。这个项目的智力价值在于项目团队在教育创新方面的专业知识和经验，以及支持该创新的重要工具和资源的开发。主要的重点领域，特别是该项目的多核心编程方面，及时而明确地响应了国家对计算机教育中基于研究的创新的需求。该项目具有明显的成功潜力和对计算机教育领域的重大贡献。这个项目更广泛的影响应该出现在社区建设中，围绕着对计算专业人员需求的理解和支持社区的资源的开发。代码模型社区是当前计算机教育者的兴趣所在。强大的行业支持和更广泛的学术团体的参与相结合，指出了影响大量不同学生群体的计算机教育的潜力，并使他们更好地为现代计算机专业工作场所的挑战做好准备。

ABSTRACTCNS-0722362PI: Carlos JensenInstitution: Oregon State UniversityTitle: CPATH CB: Building a Platform for Learning , A Learner Centered Approach to Computer Science EducationThis CPATH project builds a community around integrating a Platform for Learning model into the computing education of undergraduate students. The model is based on a successful similar paradigm used within electrical engineering education at the lead university. Curriculum revision is based on four major themes: multi-core programming, graphics and animation, software engineering fundamentals, and open-source contributions. A key element of the project is the continued development and evaluation of an open-source community of code repository to support software development and the student community of learners as well as the broader academic community at other institutions. The project includes community outreach to university, community college, and industry partners within the state of Oregon as well as on a national scale. It also includes developing a community of practice involving students, faculty, and professionals from other disciplines engaging non-traditional interdisciplinary projects. National outreach takes place through organized activities at the National Center for Women and Information Technology alliance meeting and other national meetings.The intellectual merit of this project lies in the expertise and experience of the project team in educational innovation and in the development of significant tools and resources to support that innovation. The main focus areas, particularly the multi-core programming aspects of the project are timely and clearly respond to national needs for research-based innovation in computing education. The project has clear potential for success and significant contribution to the computing education field.The broader impacts of this project should emerge from the community building around the understanding of the needs of computing professionals and the development of resources that support the community. The community of code model is of current interest among computing educators. The combination of strong industry support and the involvement of the broader academic community points to the potential to impact the computing education of a large, diverse group of students and to better prepare them for the challenges of the modern computing professional workplace.
