This paper describes a computer science/information sciences and technology curriculum. Specifically, Project Vision focuses on active, cooperative, student-centered learning that is supported by technology. The Project Vision curriculum has included: an opportunity for students to lease a notebook computer that is pre-loaded with a "standard image", i.e., software that is needed for most course work in the curriculum; supplemental instruction, i.e., seeking to increase retention by pro-actively creating a learning community atmosphere; instruction and practice in team based learning and problem solving; and integration with selected general education/liberal arts courses.

Keywords: pedagogy, IS curriculum, active learning, cooperative learning, team-based learning, student-centered learning
