  1. CPATH CB: Building the Northwest Distributed Computer Science Department Robert Bryant Gonzaga University bryant@gonzaga.edu Jenny Orr Willamette University gorr@willamette.edu Scott Wallace WSU - Vancouver wallaces@vancouver.wsu.edu CPATH Workshop

  2. We Want You! • And we can pay you CPATH Workshop

  3. Our CPATH Effort Enabling and fostering innovative change within the CS curriculum Sharing knowledge and resources as innovation takes place Enabling heightened outreach to K-12 schools Integrating computational thinking into a variety of disciplines Enabling heightened ability to evaluate new educational strategies CPATH Workshop

  4. Communication • Wiki - portal • http://ai.vancouver.wsu.edu/nwdcsd/ • Google Calendar • Module development information • Approval of accounts • Marratech video conferencing system CPATH Workshop

  5. Tasks • Develop a community that will share resources • Create curriculum • Reuse it across institutions & disciplines • Collaborate on pedagogy & research • Generate a framework for reusable resources • Assess it all CPATH Workshop

  6. Goals For The Day • We want you! • Identify faculty interested in developing module(s) (current and future) • Identify faculty interested in module assessment/structure CPATH Workshop

  7. Outreach Activities • October 10, 2008 CCSC-NW Superquest follow-up • Feb/March (TBD) OCSTA conference in Willamette. 40-50 HS teachers. Possible session workshop. • OGPC Game Dev. Conf. May 16th, 2009, Salem • Superquest training events • Late June, Portland, robotics • Late July/Early August, Monnmouth OR, Robotics, games, flash, Alice? • Mid August, Kalamath Falls, Games • CS4HS – preceding Superquest in Monmouth, Fri-Sun? CPATH Workshop

  8. Funding • $1000 stipend per 3 semester hour project for ''development’ payment criteria: • IRB approval • module has been tested in the classroom / licensed for use • student survey data collected • commit to being available for question • $250 stipend per 3 semester hour project for "adoption” • IRB approval • student survey data collected • participate in adoption survey / write use report • Travel (need to get approval from PIs before hand) CPATH Workshop

  9. Action Items • Discussion about module development • Discussion about module assessment/structure • Commit to work CPATH Workshop

  10. Assessment (Ashley, Karen, Peter, Scott) • Pre, post surveys (High priority – ASAP) • Post module use surveys • IRBs (High priority – ASAP) Rating systems Instructor access Other repositories NSDL, Citidel.org (?) Boots Cassel Module dependencies, prerequisites CPATH Workshop

  11. Module Dev. Process • Propose idea to PI • Check proposal guidelines (none yet) • Develop your module (1 week to 4) • Modify pre & post survey for your module • Pre-assessment(s), Use it, post assessment(s) • Post module package to wiki • Receive pay • Be available for users CPATH Workshop

  12. Notes – possible projects • Airport Simulation • Data structures (Pamela, Shereen, Peter) • Java Instruction Games (Scott, Andrew, Peter) • Data Bases (Karen) • Art and Computation (Jenny, Richard) • Ecology Visulization (Judy) • Robotics (Richard) • Python logo (Bob) • Algorithms (Kathie, Rob, Peter) • Bird Migration (Jenny, Rob, Bob, Judy, Kathie) • Secure web programming (Greg, Karen) CPATH Workshop
