Designing a Computer Science Curriculum for the 21st Century. National Science Foundation (NSF) Workshop April 1987

Designing a learning sequence of mathematics courses is the focus of this 12 minute video. It is one of a set of five demonstration or publicity tapes produced by the Center for Interactive Management in the 1980's to show the possibilities and uses of Interactive Management. (the other four were on subjects of Defense Acquisition, Marine Fisheries, Nursing, American Indian tribes.

A Workshop sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) was held at Center for Interactive Management, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA in 1986-1987. An invited group of mathematicians, systems scientists and engineers was assembled by Warfield to serve as participants, in an experiment to explore future educational needs nationwide. Interactive Management processes help the group design a learning sequence of mathematics courses which would best prepare students for competence in computer science. In this short video, CIM staff displayed some scenes from the NSF workshop and tried to describe and promote the Interactive Management methodology used in the sessions. There are five video cassettes holding approximately ten hours of filming from the actual workshop under the title: Curriculum Workshop: Mathematics for Computer Science.
