Modern digital literacy

The computer science curriculum goes mainstream

Abstract

As computers and computing become increasingly ubiquitous, it is necessary to re-examine their role in education. We must broaden our traditional view of Computer Science and Information Technology education to include the skills required to function in a world where computers and computing are embedded in our academic disciplines and our daily activities. In doing so, we have the opportunity to inject computing effectively into all curricula, not just CS and IT, and to explore new pedagogical methods. The resulting educational landscape can be broad and inclusive, and help all learners to achieve their potential in the Digital Age.
