Title :
Digital libraries in support of science education: a case for computational physics
Abstract :
In this article, I´ll focus on the NSDL´s Communities for Physics and Astronomy Digital Resources in Education (ComPADRE) Pathway project for physics and astronomy education and outline the effort´s goals and structure. More important, I´ll present a proposal to better support the incorporation of computational methods in the undergraduate physics and astronomy curriculum.
