An AI repository as a course development resource

Abstract

This paper presents preliminary results on an on-going project with AAAI (American Association of Artificial Intelligence) to develop a repository of pedagogic resources for the Introduction to Artificial Intelligence course. This repository is intended to assist educators by providing a variety of resources that may be utilized in the classroom to facilitate learning of various aspects and topics in Artificial Intelligence (AI). These resources include syllabi, sample programming assignments, sample written assignments, on-line tutorials on specific AI topics, papers related to AI pedagogy, AI tools and environments, and source code included in popular AI textbooks. This paper also discusses how these resources may be used by AI educators to develop course materials for the Introduction to AI course.
