Computing in Context

该项目支持应用计算关键领域的四个小型专家团队，以综合多个相关项目的结果，并创建专注于“上下文中的计算”的课程范例。然后，这些课程可以与《计算机科学2013年课程指南》以及其他广泛传播的材料一起使用，以支持计算与其他学科之间的广泛关系。通过探索这些关系，学生们了解计算的力量如何在整个学院和社会中传达和塑造想法。该项目专注于四个合作领域：计算金融、计算和音乐、计算语言学和网络科学。开发的每个模块都利用了至少一种主动学习技术，如基于问题的学习(PBL)、面向过程的引导式探究(POGIL)或课堂响应系统(CLICKER)形式，以促进跨学科团队中的学生有效学习。完整的小组和小主题领域的项目教员研讨会支持开发材料的一致性和评估。更多的教员参与审查和测试材料，导致大约40名教员参与项目的整个生命周期。由一名外部评估员领导对制定的课程指导方针、课程结构和教学方法进行多方面的评估，评估编写材料的过程和产生的产品。

This project supports four small teams of experts in key areas of applied computing to synthesize the results from a number of related projects and create curricular exemplars focusing on "computing in context." These can then be used in conjunction with the Computer Science 2013 curriculum guidelines and in other widely disseminated materials to support the breadth of relationships between computing and other disciplines. By exploring these relationships, students understand how the power of computing informs and shapes ideas throughout the academy and society. The project focuses on four areas of collaboration: computational finance, computing and music, computational linguistics, and web science. The modules developed each utilize at least one active-learning technique such as problem-based learning (PBL), process-oriented guided inquiry (POGIL), or a classroom response system (clicker) format that facilitates effective learning for students working on interdisciplinary teams. Full group and small topic area project faculty workshops support consistency and evaluation of the developed materials. Additional faculty are engaged in reviewing and testing the materials, resulting in the participation of approximately 40 faculty over the life of the project. A multi-faceted evaluation of the curricular guidelines, course structures, and pedagogical approaches developed is led by an external evaluator assessing both the process of developing the materials and the resulting products.
