Ensemble adds a computing pathway to the existing set of NSF STEM Digital Libraries (NSDL). The addition ensures that the NSDL pathways provide a more complete coverage of STEM areas. The computing pathway supports the full range of computing education communities, provides a base for the development of programs blending computing with other STEM areas, and produces digital library innovations that are propagated to other NSDL pathways. Since computing communities including computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, information science, information systems and information technology continue to rapidly evolve; the computing pathway greatly aids computing educators in those areas. The computing pathway also addresses diversity, the complex interactions across the computing communities, as well as meeting the future need for increasing the numbers of computer related graduates. Ensemble reaches across the full range of audiences for computing education from K-12 to graduate and professional education. Ensemble creates a distributed portal providing access to the broad range of existing educational resources while preserving the collections and their associated curation processes. Ensemble encourages contribution, use, reuse, review and evaluation of educational materials at multiple levels of granularity. To accomplish the overall goals, the Ensemble team works directly with relevant professional societies and accreditation agencies to articulate inter-relationships among the computing communities.

Ensemble为现有的NSF STEM数字图书馆（NSDL）增加了一条计算途径。这一增加确保了NSDL途径提供了一个更完整的STEM领域的覆盖面。计算途径支持全方位的计算教育社区，为开发将计算与其他STEM领域相结合的项目提供了基础，并产生了传播到其他NSDL途径的数字图书馆创新。由于计算社区，包括计算机科学，计算机工程，软件工程，信息科学，信息系统和信息技术继续迅速发展，计算途径极大地帮助这些领域的计算教育工作者。计算途径还解决了多样性，跨计算社区的复杂互动，以及满足未来增加计算机相关毕业生数量的需求。Ensemble覆盖了从K-12到研究生和专业教育的所有计算机教育受众。Ensemble创建了一个分布式门户网站，提供对广泛的现有教育资源的访问，同时保留收藏及其相关的策展过程。Ensemble鼓励在多个粒度级别上贡献、使用、重复使用、审查和评估教育材料。为了实现总体目标，Ensemble团队直接与相关专业协会和认证机构合作，以阐明计算社区之间的相互关系。
