本计划旨在满足21世纪科技社会的一个公认需求：扩大参与和追求卓越的计算机教育。计算机艺术（CITA）是一个创新的，跨学科的文学学士学位课程，它将计算机科学和信息技术与传统艺术理论和实践相结合。该课程围绕创造性表达的主题介绍计算机，发现这可以提高妇女和少数民族的参与度。CITA以健全的教学法为基础，包括经过测试的课程和结构化的综合经验。它有潜力丰富跨学科本科生的计算机教育。正在开发学习材料、教学策略和教师专业知识，以促进艺术学科的计算思维。学生的学习目标及资讯科技辅助课程在提高学生对电脑的参与方面的成效将会被评估。该项目将通过广泛传播促进课程和有效战略的实施。

This project addresses a recognized need of the 21st century technological society: broadening participation and excellence in computing education. Computing in the Arts (CITA) is an innovative, interdisciplinary Bachelor of Arts degree program, which integrates computer science and information technology with traditional art theory and practice. The curriculum introduces computing around a theme of creative expression, which has been found to increase participation by women and minorities. CITA is based on sound pedagogy, involving tested curricula and structured synthesis experiences. It has the potential to enrich computing education for undergraduate students across disciplines. Learning materials, teaching strategies and faculty expertise are being developed to promote computational thinking in the arts disciplines. Student learning objectives and the efficacy of CITA to increase participation in computing will be assessed. The project will promote implementation of the curriculum and effective strategies through widespread dissemination.
