CPATH PI meeting 2010

美国国家科学基金会CISE振兴本科计算机教育之路（CPATH）项目已经完成了三个资助周期，并在计算机教育方面投入了大量资金。每一项资助的提案都有成就和挫折，应该与他人分享。这个特别的项目支持一个研讨会，将资助项目的领导人聚集在一起，以分享经验，探索进一步合作的机会，并讨论阻碍实现其既定目标的问题。该研讨会计划于2010年3月下旬在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的一处设施举行，该地点是为了便于资助pi和希望观察和了解CPATH项目的成就和挑战的NSF工作人员访问。智力优势：本次研讨会将为CPATH资助项目的负责人提供一个机会，让他们反思自己的目标和进展，并集思广益，探讨其他项目在哪些方面可以借鉴？我的经历可能会激发一些新的活动或一些重点的变化，并与相关活动建立新的联系，从而增强每个项目。更广泛的影响：研讨会的成果将包括：量化项目之间联系的结果。还会有具体的结果，包括对经验的评论、对未来方向的建议、对有效和无效想法的描述。研究结果将发表在NSF nssdl集成网站：通往nssdl的计算途径上。这些结果将被广泛宣传，这些材料将有助于未来向CPATH和其他NSF计算教育计划提出建议，以避免其他人所经历的陷阱，并将提供见解，从而在CPATH计划所针对的领域提出更强有力的建议和取得更多成就

NSF CISE Pathways to Revitalized Undergraduate Computing Education (CPATH) program has completed three funding cycles and has invested heavily in computing education. Each of the funded proposals has accomplishments and setbacks that should be shared with others. This special project supports a workshop to bring together the leaders of the funded projects in order to share experiences, explore opportunities for additional collaborations, and discuss issues that hinder accomplishing their stated goals. The workshop is planned for late March 2010 at a facility in Arlington, VA. The site is chosen for easy access both by the grant PIs and by NSF staff who wish to observe and learn about the accomplishments and challenges of the CPATH program.Intellectual Merit: The proposed workshop will give leaders of CPATH funded projects an opportunity to reflect on their goals and their progress, to brainstorm on ways in which other project?fs experiences might inspire some new activities or some changes of emphasis, and to make new connections to related activities that will enhance each of the projects.Broader Impacts: The outcomes of the workshop will include hard?]to?]quantify results from connections made between projects. There will also be concrete results in the form of commentary on experiences, suggestions for future directions, descriptions of ideas that worked and ideas that did not work. The results will be published on the NSF NSDL Ensemble site: the computing pathway to NSDL. The existence of the results will be well publicized and these materials will help future proposals to CPATH and other NSF computing education programs to avoid the pitfalls experienced by others and will provide insights that will lead to stronger proposals and more accomplishments in areas targeted by the CPATH program
