The notion that computer science courses at all levels should have structured laboratory components is rapidly gaining national impetus. Faculty at Lawrence University are completing a three- year project which has incorporated an algorithm visualization laboratory into courses spanning the entire computer science curriculum. During this project they have developed software to graphically animate algorithms and accompanying laboratory exercises which employ that software. They now will offer a pair of intensive, week-long workshops that will help thirty undergraduate faculty author their own visualization-based laboratory exercises using software which is available on VAXStations, Macintoshes, or IBM PC-compatibles. After the week of the workshop, participants will be able to continue preparing such exercises at their home institutions. This post-workshop work will be distributed via electronic mail or other magnetic media. The combination of workshop and post-workshop activities will thus result in a nation-wide core group of computer science educators actively developing intriguing laboratory exercises and facilities.

所有级别的计算机科学课程都应该有结构化的实验室组成部分，这一概念正在全国范围内迅速得到推动。劳伦斯大学的教师正在完成一个为期三年的项目，该项目将一个算法可视化实验室纳入整个计算机科学课程。在这个项目中，他们开发了软件，以图形动画算法和伴随的实验室练习，使用该软件。他们现在将提供两个密集的、为期一周的研讨会，帮助30名本科教师使用VAXStations、macintosh或IBM pc兼容设备上的软件编写他们自己的基于可视化的实验室练习。在一周的讲习班结束后，参与者将能够在他们的家庭机构继续准备这些练习。这些工作坊后的作品将通过电子邮件或其他磁性媒体分发。因此，工作坊和工作坊后活动的结合将产生一个全国性的计算机科学教育者核心小组，积极开发有趣的实验室练习和设施。
