Collaborative Research: Alice and Media Computation

计算机科学(31)这个项目，协作研究：Alice和媒体计算，正在创建一个基于Java的CS入门课程，结合Alice编程和媒体计算的已有方法。智力优势：这个项目正在开发一门课程，它使用基于Alice和媒体计算的新实例来展示典型的入门计算课程中的相同概念。学生们正在使用Alice探索编程的算法推理，并使用媒体计算学习Java的语法。广泛的影响：这个项目利用了两种创新方法的优势，这两种方法已经成功地吸引和留住了计算机科学的学生。这种结合的方法是使用由最初的独立项目开发和验证的方法，以扩大计算机科学对没有代表的群体的吸引力，并增加高危学生的成功。该项目的成果正通过一系列六个夏季讲习班加以传播。

Computer Science (31)This project, Collaborative Research: Alice and Media Computation, iscreating a Java-based introductory CS curriculum combining the provenapproaches of Alice programming and Media Computation.Intellectual Merit: This project is developing a course whichpresents the same concepts found in typical introductorycomputing courses using new examples based on Alice and MediaComputation. Students are using Alice to explore the algorithmic reasoning ofprogramming and learning the syntax of Java using Media Computation.Broader Impacts: This project is leveraging the strengths of twoinnovative approaches that have been successful in attracting andretaining students in computer science. The combined approach isusing methods, developed and validated by the originalindependent projects, to broaden the appeal of computer science toless-represented groups, and increase the success of at-riskstudents. The results of the project are being disseminated througha series of six summer workshops.
