Ensemble adds a computing pathway to the existing set of NSF STEM Digital Libraries (NSDL). The addition ensures that the NSDL pathways provide a more complete coverage of STEM areas. The computing pathway supports the full range of computing education communities, provides a base for the development of programs blending computing with other STEM areas, and produces digital library innovations that are propagated to other NSDL pathways. Since computing communities including computer science, computer engineering, software engineering, information science, information systems and information technology continue to rapidly evolve; the computing pathway greatly aids computing educators in those areas. The computing pathway also addresses diversity, the complex interactions across the computing communities, as well as meeting the future need for increasing the numbers of computer related graduates. Ensemble reaches across the full range of audiences for computing education from K-12 to graduate and professional education. Ensemble creates a distributed portal providing access to the broad range of existing educational resources while preserving the collections and their associated curation processes. Ensemble encourages contribution, use, reuse, review and evaluation of educational materials at multiple levels of granularity. To accomplish the overall goals, the Ensemble team works directly with relevant professional societies and accreditation agencies to articulate inter-relationships among the computing communities.

Ensemble 为现有的 NSF STEM 数字图书馆 (NSDL) 集添加了计算路径。这一补充确保了 NSDL 途径能够更全面地覆盖 STEM 领域。计算途径支持全方位的计算教育社区，为将计算与其他 STEM 领域相结合的项目的开发提供基础，并产生传播到其他 NSDL 途径的数字图书馆创新。由于包括计算机科学、计算机工程、软件工程、信息科学、信息系统和信息技术在内的计算社区不断快速发展；计算途径极大地帮助了这些领域的计算教育工作者。计算途径还解决了计算社区之间的多样性和复杂的交互问题，并满足了未来增加计算机相关毕业生数量的需求。 Ensemble 覆盖从 K-12 到研究生和专业教育的所有计算机教育受众。 Ensemble 创建了一个分布式门户，提供对广泛的现有教育资源的访问，同时保留馆藏及其相关的管理流程。 Ensemble 鼓励在多个粒度级别上贡献、使用、重复使用、审查和评估教育材料。为了实现总体目标，Ensemble 团队直接与相关专业协会和认证机构合作，阐明计算社区之间的相互关系。
