title = "Adopting threads for computing education: Lessons learned to date from an NSF CPATH project",
abstract = "The National Science Foundation (NSF) started the CISE Pathways to Revitalized Undergraduate Computing Education (CPATH) program two years ago (2007). The panel provides a forum for our team to present and discuss our progress and lessons learned to date from our collaboration on a CPATH project entitled: {"}CPATH EAE: Extending Contextualized Computing in Multiple Institutions Using Threads{"}*. Our project team represents a diverse set of institutions and computing education programs. We have been working over the past two years on adapting and adopting Georgia Tech's Threads{\texttrademark} model for computing education at the partner institutions. This process is currently at a different stage at each of the institutions due to a variety of factors. We give an overview of those factors, of the Thread adaptation and adoption process at each school, of the challenges and opportunities for doing so as well as our next steps. Doing so should lead to a wider dissemination of lessons learned during this formative stage of the project that could be of benefit to other computing programs with similar goals.",
