| Abstract | Four research-supported teaching methods can make your computing courses more effective through improved student learning, comprehension, and motivation. This workshop introduces and provides experience with those four methods: 1. Collaborative learning, e.g., pair programming or peer led team learning; 2. Examples and exercises in contexts that appeal to a broad range of students; 3. Computing skills developed through practice; 4. Developing spatial rotation abilities. The presenters are among leading researchers and award-winning practitioners. J. McGrath Cohoon: Senior Research Scientist at the National Center for Women & IT (NCWIT); Associate Professor of Science, Technology, and Society at the University of Virginia; conducts nationwide empirical studies of gender and computing. Jim Cohoon: Computer Science professor at the University of Virginia; IEEE Computer Science highest education award recipient, and author of award-winning introductory textbooks. Susan Horwitz: Professor of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin - Madison; lead PI on an NSF grant that pioneered and evaluated use of Peer-Led Team Learning in introductory Computer-Science courses; recipient of University teaching awards. Seth Reichelson: award-winning high school Computer Science teacher; nationally recognized for his approach to high school computing courses in general and AP Computer Science in particular. Laura Jones: teaches in a public elementary school, writes frequently about girls and STEM careers, founded and directed the GEMS clubs (Girls Excelling in Math and Science) in 1995. Workshop participants will learn from these presenters how to employ the pedagogical methods for engaging and retaining diverse students in computer science courses. .A laptop is optional. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
