Collaborative Research: CPATH CB: Distributed Expertise in Enhancing Computing Education with Connections to the Arts

计算机教育不仅对计算机科学及其许多兄弟学科（计算机工程、软件工程、信息系统等）至关重要，而且对几乎所有其他学科都至关重要。计算机在今天是普遍存在的，许多专业人士发展基本的编程技能，作为在他们自己的学科中用计算术语表达想法、问题和解决方案的一种方式。在艺术（音乐、图形设计）、商业（会计、经济学）、科学（生物、化学、物理）和社会科学的课程中，经常会发现计算课程。在某种程度上，计算机正在成为大多数专业学位的必修课。这个项目解决了计算专家之间的分离和计算概念的广泛集成，不仅仅是技术，还有计算思维，在其他学科中。该项目将使用目前普遍可用的技术，允许教师合作提供课程，将专家的潜在影响扩展到更广泛的受众，并收集专家讲座的录音。此外，它将为一个共同框架开发一个可视化的交互式界面，围绕该框架探索跨领域的异同，并使有关教育计划发展的决策成为可能。这些小组还将举办讲习班，以确定创新的教学方法，并支持开展新的合作课程经验，反映课程的效用。机会计算教育是学习如何激发动手学习可以吸引学生，并提供介绍计算概念的机会。除了致力于参与教师群体的多样性之外，该项目还将把计算机的范围扩展到通常与该内容不相关的学科，并将其学科的范围展示给计算机学生，为该学科在创造性领域的应用提供更广阔的视野。这个项目提出了一个日益增长的信念，即跨学科方法对于振兴计算机教育至关重要，并提供了一个解决方案，以满足个人专业领域更广泛的需求。如果成功，该项目可以推广到全国实施，并产生非常大的影响。

Computing Education is essential not only for Computer Science and its many sibling disciplines(Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Systems, etc.) but for practically all other academic disciplines. Computers are pervasive today and many professionals develop basic programming skills as a way to express ideas, problems and solutions in computational terms within their own disciplines. It is common to find curricula in the arts (music, graphical design), business (accounting, economics), sciences (biology, chemistry, physics), and social sciences with computational courses in their curriculum. In a way, computing is becoming a requirement of most professional degrees. This project addresses both the separation between computing specialists and to widespread integration of computing concepts, not just the technology but computational thinking, in other disciplines. The project will use technologies now commonly available to permit faculty to collaborate in offering courses that extend the potential reach of experts to a broader audience, as well as a collection of recorded expert lectures. In addition, it will develop a visual, interactive interface to a common framework around which to explore similarities and differences across domains and to enable decisions about educational plan development. The teams will also host workshops to identify innovative approaches to teaching, as well as support initiation of new collaborative course experience and reflect of the utility of the courses. The opportunity computing education is to learn how motivated hands-on learning can engage students and provide opportunities to introduce computing concepts. In addition to aiming for diversity in the groups of participating faculty, the project will extend the reach of computing to disciplines not normally associated with that content and will also represent the scope of their discipline to computing students, providing a broader view of the impact of the discipline as it is applied in creative fields. This project addresses the growing conviction that inter-disciplinary approaches are crucial to revitalizing computing education and offers a solution to the need for broader reach of individual areas of expertise. If successful, this project could spread to national implementations with very great effect.
