EAGER: Collaborative Research: Infrastructure for Collaborative Faculty Textbook Communities

这个项目的目标是开发有用的基础设施，用于与合作的计算机科学教师共享特定领域的专业知识，共享特定领域的课程材料。该基础设施的核心是一个免费的在线教科书;然而，该基础设施还包括一个会员控制的课程材料区，包括项目，作业，经验报告，视频讲座和幻灯片。该项目将推进两个相关的计算机科学教科书，操作系统和性能介绍的最新技术。这些内容将作为一个更一般的基础设施的测试材料，以开发合作教师教科书社区的目的。他们的主要想法是利用基础设施来鼓励和方便教师为他们的课程提供免费的在线教科书。新颖的方面是专注于什么是最好的基础设施将是一个社区的教师，鼓励长期维护和更新相关的课程材料，并鼓励教师的参与与高水平的专业知识和有限的时间。

The goal of this project is to develop infrastructure useful for sharing domain-specific course materials with collaborating Computer Science faculty sharing expertise in a particular domain. The centerpiece of the infrastructure is a free online-textbook; however the infrastructure also includes a membership-controlled area for course materials including projects, homeworks, experience reports, video lectures,and slides.This project will advance the state of the art for two relevant Computer Science textbooks, Operating Systems and Introduction to Performance. This content will serve as test material for a more general infrastructure to be developed for the purpose of developing Collaborative Faculty Textbook Communities. They key idea is to use the infrastructure to encourage and ease faculty contribution to, and adoption of, free online textbooks for their courses. The novel aspect is to focus on what the best infrastructure would be for a community of faculty, encouraging the longer-term maintenance and updating of the relevant course materials, and also encourage the participation of faculty with a high level of expertise and limited time.
