We are now calling on the computing community to submit exemplars of courses and curricula to better connect the CS2013 Body of Knowledge to real, existing approaches representing diverse and innovative ways to teach computer science.<\/p>\n<p>CALL FOR EXEMPLARS<br \/>\nThe CS2013 Curriculum Steering Committee is seeking exemplars of courses and curricula from the broader community. This open process will better connect the CS2013 Body of Knowledge to real, existing approaches representing diverse and innovative ways to teach computer science. In computer-science terms, the topics and learning outcomes in the Body of Knowledge represent a \u201cspecification\u201d, whereas a curriculum is an \u201cimplementation\u201d and a course is part of a curriculum. The CS2013 Ironman v1.0 draft (the penultimate CS2013 draft) will be released in early 2013, containing an initial set of such course\/curriculum exemplars.<\/p>\n<p>Including exemplars as part of the CS2013 effort is a new idea not present in previous versions of the ACM\/IEEE-CS Computer Science Curriculum guidelines. The steering committee believes they will provide greater value than stylized model courses that do not directly describe actual experience. Submitting an exemplar is your opportunity to present a successful approach to teaching computer science in a way that will prove useful to educators working to adopt the CS2013 guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>Information on how to contribute course\/curriculum exemplars is available at the CS2013 website (<a href=\"http:\/\/cs2013.org\">http:\/\/cs2013.org<\/a>) or directly at:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/cs2013.org\/exemplars.html\">http:\/\/cs2013.org\/exemplars.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class='wp_likes' id='wp_likes_post-3183'><a class='like' href=\"javascript:wp_likes.like(3183);\" title='' ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/minkhollow.ca\/beckerblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-likes\/images\/like.png\" alt='' border='0'\/><\/a><span class='text'>Be the first to like.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='like' ><a href=\"javascript:wp_likes.like(3183);\">Like<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='unlike' ><a href=\"javascript:wp_likes.unlike(3183);\">Unlike<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Approximate Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>The Ironman Draft of the next ACM\/IEEE CS Curricula is out.
