Educational Innovation: The Strategic Use of Complex Computer Systems

摘要：CMU，邦尼约翰，PI这个CISE教育创新奖提供资金，以支持设计，实施，评估和传播一个新的入门级课程的计算，教计算机系统的战略使用。 这一战略知识是在1994年NSF青年研究者奖下开发的。它可以帮助用户有效地分解任务的权力和限制，他们的计算机工具，并已被证明产生显着的提高生产力。 这项新课程现正由中央管理大学计算机技术工作坊课程的一个学生试验班编制，预计明年将由计算机技术工作坊的所有部门采用。 该项目有可能在国家一级对计算机本科教育产生重大影响。

ABSTRACT: CMU, Bonnie John, PIThis CISE Educational Innovation award provides funds to support the design, implementation, evaluation and dissemination of a new introductory-level course in computing which teaches the Strategic Use of Computer Systems. This strategic knowledge has been developed under a 1994 NSF Young Investigator Award to the PI. It helps users decompose tasks effectively and efficiently with respect to the powers and limitation of their computer tools and has been shown to produce significant improvements in productivity. The new course is being developed with a pilot section of students in the Computing Skills Workshop (CSW) course at CMU beginning in 1999 and is expected to then be adopted by all of the CSW sections in the next year. The project has the potential to make major impact on undergraduate education in computing at a national level.
