The Computational Science Education Reference Desk

一个涉及研究和教学机构、少数民族服务机构、社区组织以及州和国家级高性能计算中心的国家伙伴关系正在为高质量、有效的计算科学教育材料提供管理。这个NSDL Pathways项目的主要活动包括评估、修改、收集、标记和（在可以获得权利的情况下）存档网络上可用的基于计算模型的材料的最佳增长体。该项目还提供：1）NSDL用户、内容创建者和集合维护者添加和注释集合的机制; 2）内容创建者的同行评审出版物的出口; 3）集合维护者的培训和技术援助;以及4）教育工作者将不同的学习对象绑定到与州和国家标准相关的功能单元的基础设施。计算科学教育参考台的最初受众是本科教师及其学生，包括未来的科学家和工程师以及未来的教师。该项目还将对在职教师及其初中和高中学生以及终身学习者产生直接影响。

A national partnership involving research and teaching institutions, a minority serving institution, community-based organizations, and high performance computing centers at the state and national level is providing stewardship for high-quality, effective computational science educational materials. Primary activities of this NSDL Pathways project include evaluating, modifying, collecting, tagging, and (where rights can be obtained) archiving the best of the growing body of computational model based materials that are available on the Web. The project is also providing: 1) mechanisms for NSDL users, content creators, and collection maintainers to add to and annotate the collection; 2) an outlet for peer reviewed publication for content creators; 3) training and technical assistance to collection maintainers; and 4) an infrastructure for educators to bind disparate learning objects into functional units tied to state and national standards. The initial audiences for the Computational Science Education Reference Desk are undergraduate faculty and their students, both future scientists and engineers and future teachers. The project also expects to have a direct impact on in-service teachers and their students in intermediate and secondary schools, as well as life-long learners.
