A Digital Computer Science Teaching Center

数字计算机科学教学中心(CSTC)是一个基于互联网的资源库，为计算机科学教育工作者提供同行评议的可重复使用的教学资源。它将作为一个有吸引力的网站实施，具有直观的导航和强大的搜索功能。这个教学资源交换中心得到了计算机械协会的认可，将为传播高质量的材料提供一个值得信赖的途径。CSTC将促进合作努力，因为教职员工因共同的利益而走到一起。成果将包括开发和分发同行评议的可重复使用的教学资源的框架。此框架可用于各种专门提供教学资源的资源中心，如课程开发、试题库、课堂讲稿和教学大纲。然而，前三个资源中心将用于可视化工具、计算实验室和NSF教育创新(EI)项目。可视化资源中心包含在课堂中使用可视化的工具和技术。计算实验室资源中心包含为重复使用而设计的经过同行评审的实验室材料。EI资源中心包含来自NSF EI项目的课程、工具和其他教育资源。将制定一个公开的征集和同行审查程序，以收集、评价、评级和完善提交的材料。通过保留编委会和同行评审的传统标准，CSTC为可重复使用的教材的学术贡献提供了一条专业认可和奖励的途径。接受的材料将可从CSTC下载。将利用用户概况和关于采用材料的调查结果来提高国家技术合作委员会的价值。将广泛宣传科技委的使命和存在。该项目得到了ACM教育委员会的部分支持。

The digital Computer Science Teaching Center (CSTC) is an internet-based repository of peer reviewed reusable teaching resources for computer science educators. It will be implemented as a compelling web site with intuitive navigation and powerful search capabilities. This clearinghouse of teaching resources is endorsed by the Association of Computing Machinery and will provide a trusted avenue for the dissemination of quality materials. The CSTC will foster collaborative efforts as faculty are brought together by their common interests. Outcomes will include a framework for developing and distributing peer reviewed reusable teaching resources. This framework can be used for a variety of resource centers that specialize in teaching resources such as curriculum development, test banks, lecture notes, and syllabi. However, the first three Resource Centers will be for visualization tools, computing laboratories, and NSF Education Innovation (EI) projects. The Visualization Resource Center contains tools and techniques to use visualizations in the classroom. The Computing Laboratories Resource Center contains peer reviewed laboratory materials designed for reuse. The EI Resource Center contains courseware, tools, and other educational resources resulting from NSF EI projects. An open solicitation and peer review process will be developed to collect, critique, rate and refine submissions. By preserving traditional standards from an Editorial Board and peer review, the CSTC provides an avenue for professional recognition and reward for the scholarly contribution of reusable teaching materials. Accepted materials will be available to download from the CSTC. User profiles and survey results on the adoption of materials will be used to enhance the value of the CSTC. The mission and existence of the CSTC will be disseminated widely. This project is supported in part by the ACM Education Board.
