CPATH CB: Building the Northwest Distributed Computer Science Department

CPATH社区建设项目在美国太平洋西北地区开发了一个独特的计算教育社区。来自以教学为导向的小型机构的教职员工计划合作建立西北分布式计算机科学系(NW-DSCD)。计算教育工作者计划分享知识、资源和专业知识，以改变整个地区的计算教育。NW-DISC创造了一种促进和促进创新教育变革的手段，在创新发生时分享知识和资源，能够加强对K-12学校的推广，将计算思维融入各种学科，并为评估新的教育战略提供平台。目标是改变太平洋西北部计算机教育的面貌。该项目的智力价值在于强大的项目团队和该地区机构对该项目重要目标的承诺。NW-DCSD提供了一种将特定机构的成功转化为地区性创新的手段。该项目有可能对全国产生影响，并为未来的计算机教育提供新的模式。该项目的更广泛影响包括发展一个分布式教育社区，以共享新课程和课程等资源。该社区将每年显著增加，从而扩大影响，并为一系列学术学科的不同学生群体开辟新的创新计算途径。

This CPATH Community Building project develops a unique computing education community within the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Faculty members from small, teaching-oriented institutions plan to work collaboratively to build The Northwest Distributed Computer Science Department (NW-DSCD). Computing educators plan to share knowledge, resources, and expertise to transform computing education across the region. The NW-DISC creates a means of enabling and fostering innovative educational change, sharing knowledge and resources as innovation takes place, enabling heightened outreach to K-12 schools, integrating computational thinking into a variety of disciplines, and providing a platform for evaluating new educational strategies. The goal is to change the face of computing education in the Pacific Northwest.The intellectual merit of the project lies in the strong project team and the commitment of the institutions in the region to the important goals of the project. The NW-DCSD offers a means to turn institution-specific successes into regional innovations. The project has the potential for national impact and to provide new models for computing education of the future.The broader impacts of the project include the development of a distributed educational community to share resources such as new courses and curricula. The community is to be increased significantly each year, thus widening the impact and opening new innovative computing pathways to a diverse student population in a range of academic disciplines.
