| //INSTANCES// is an NSF-funded curriculum development project. Our vision is a systemic change in education that reflects the reality of computation having become an essential element in all sciences. Our aim is to provide online/blended courses on computational scientific thinking & modeling for pre and in-service teachers to introduce computing within the framework of solving scientific problems. This should lead to better preparation of educators, and consequently their students, in understanding scientific practices in relation to computing and increase participation in computing. The project PI is Rubin Landau and co-PI is [[..:people:kang|Nam-Hwa Kang]] from OSU. Other institutions involved in this project’s operation include University of Connecticut, Shodor Educational Foundation, and Linn-Benton Community | //INSTANCES// is an NSF-funded curriculum development project.

| - | The //Paradigms in Physics// program is an NSF-funded curriculum development project which has restructured our upper‐division curriculum for majors to be more modern, flexible, and inclusive. The content is reordered to present physics the way professional physicists organize their own expert knowledge. Pedagogical approaches include interactive small-group learning, project-based classes, and technology-based visualization activities, among others. Further information about the program is available on the [[http://www.physics.oregonstate.edu/paradigms|student website]], and extensive documentation about the courses and pedagogy is available on the [[http://www.physics.oregonstate.edu/portfolioswiki|instructor website]]. The Director of the Paradigms Project is [[..:people:manogue|Corinne Manogue]], and the current PIs on our NSF grants are [[..:people:dray|Tevian Dray]], [[..:people:roundy|David Roundy]], [[..:people:vanzee|Emily van Zee]], [[..:people:weber|Eric Weber]] any of whom can be contacted for further information. | + | The //Paradigms in Physics// program is an NSF-funded curriculum development project which has restructured our upper‐division curriculum for majors to be more modern, flexible, and inclusive.
