 CSTC Mission

The Computer Science Teaching Center (CSTC) is an internet-based repository of peer-reviewed teaching resources for computer science educators. The CSTC is designed to facilitate access to quality teaching materials developed worldwide. It is endorsed by the Association of Computing Machinery and funded by the National Science Foundation (DUE-9752190).

The CSTC is a framework for developing and distributing three kinds of teaching materials:

  • visualization tools
  • computing laboratories
  • NSF Education Innovation projects

An open solicitation and peer review process is being developed to collect, critique, rate and refine submissions. The CSTC Editorial Board and peer-review process preserves traditional publication standards. The CSTC provides an avenue for professional recognition and reward for the scholarly contribution of teaching materials.

The CSTC framework will be expanded to include a variety of resources such as curriculum development, test banks, lecture notes, syllabi and other appropriate teaching resources.
