Overview
PAIRS enables educators at all levels, in both formal and
informal settings, to easily identify, select, and use educational resources
that have been shown by research to be effective for increasing the
participation of members of under-represented groups in information technology.
We are developing a digital library of practices from the Broadening
Participation in Computing (BPC) program in CISE and elsewhere that have been
researched or evaluated for their promise or effectiveness to recruit, retain,
or advance under-represented groups in IT fields of study or research careers.
The digital library, will also serve as a centralized vehicle for dissemination
of practices by a wide range of researchers and practitioners. The
Engineering Pathway website will provide the necessary digital library
services to make PAIRS an effective tool for users and resource providers,
including metadata harvesting, federated search, interoperability, scalability,
usability, and personalization.
