Computing in Context

该项目支持应用计算关键领域的四个专家小组，以综合来自许多相关项目的结果，并创建专注于“上下文计算”的课程范例。然后，这些可以与计算机科学2013课程指南和其他广泛传播的材料一起使用，以支持计算机与其他学科之间的广泛关系。通过探索这些关系，学生们了解计算机的力量是如何影响和塑造整个学术界和社会的思想的。该项目侧重于四个合作领域：计算金融、计算与音乐、计算语言学和网络科学。开发的每个模块至少利用一种主动学习技术，如基于问题的学习（PBL），面向过程的引导探究（POGIL），或课堂响应系统（clicker）格式，促进跨学科团队工作的学生有效学习。完整的小组和小主题区域项目教师研讨会支持开发材料的一致性和评估。额外的教师参与审查和测试材料，在项目的整个生命周期中，大约有40名教师参与。对课程指南、课程结构和教学方法的多方面评估由外部评估人员领导，评估开发材料的过程和最终产品。

This project supports four small teams of experts in key areas of applied computing to synthesize the results from a number of related projects and create curricular exemplars focusing on "computing in context." These can then be used in conjunction with the Computer Science 2013 curriculum guidelines and in other widely disseminated materials to support the breadth of relationships between computing and other disciplines. By exploring these relationships, students understand how the power of computing informs and shapes ideas throughout the academy and society. The project focuses on four areas of collaboration: computational finance, computing and music, computational linguistics, and web science. The modules developed each utilize at least one active-learning technique such as problem-based learning (PBL), process-oriented guided inquiry (POGIL), or a classroom response system (clicker) format that facilitates effective learning for students working on interdisciplinary teams. Full group and small topic area project faculty workshops support consistency and evaluation of the developed materials. Additional faculty are engaged in reviewing and testing the materials, resulting in the participation of approximately 40 faculty over the life of the project. A multi-faceted evaluation of the curricular guidelines, course structures, and pedagogical approaches developed is led by an external evaluator assessing both the process of developing the materials and the resulting products.
