Computing education and digital libraries

This presentation is a work in progress on the development of an educational portal for all areas of computing. This work is being developed through the digital library initiative of the National Science Foundation. The purpose of this project is to develop computing content useful for educators, students, and persons in industry. The scope of the content includes computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, information systems, information technology, and all other areas of computing. A consortium of five institutions, each bringing a different perspective to the project, is responsible for acquiring the content. The project seeks to reach out to underrepresented communities so that computing material is accessible to them. Industrial institutions play a role in this project by contributing educational and training material and having that material accessible to others. Historical developments in computing serve as a theme in the collection of educational resources.
