An Electronic Lab Book for an Introductory Programming Course

1994年秋，ACS 168使用计算机结构化解决问题进行了修改。这些变化包括从大型机到个人计算机环境的转变，语言改为C语言，以及每周增加2小时的实验时间。这些变化为学生提供了使用更复杂的软件开发工具的机会，促进了与学生的更多互动，并提供了具有交互性的创新体验，使用图形用户界面，使用多媒体演示，并且更接近学生以前的体验。此外，还开发和实施了支持实验课程的实验模块，其中约一半具有多媒体组件。原型模块仅使用创作工具（多媒体工具书）的图形功能。主要研究人员寻求支持，以扩展模块，包括音频，扫描图像和视频剪辑。这项拨款用于资助ACS 168的电子CD-ROM实验书的开发和使用。实验书有两个版本：(1)教师版本，包含完成多媒体组件运行时版本的实验模块、实验室源代码、多媒体帮助设施、对实验活动的回答、教师的实验手册和自动评分系统，以及(2)学生版本，包含完成多媒体组件运行时版本的实验模块、实验室源代码、多媒体帮助设施和辅助文档。

In Fall 1994 changes were made to ACS 168 Structured Problem Solving Using the Computer. These changes included a move from a mainframe to a personal computer environment, a change in language to C, and the addition of a 2-hour weekly lab. These changes have provided students with the opportunity to use more sophisticated software development tools, fostered more interaction with students, and enabled the provision of innovative experiences that are interactive, use graphical user interfaces, use multimedia presentations, and are closer to the student's previous experiences. Laboratory modules to support the lab sessions, about half of which have multimedia components, were also developed and implemented. The prototype modules use only the graphics capabilities of the authoring tool (Multimedia Toolbook). The principal investigators seek support to extend the modules to include audio, scanned images, and video clips. This grant is funding the development and use of an electronic CD-ROM lab book for ACS 168. There are two versions of the lab book: (1) the instructor's version, containing lab modules complete with runtime versions of the multimedia components, the source code for labs, the multimedia help facility, answers to lab activities, the instructor's lab manual, and the automated grading system, and (2) the student version, containing lab modules complete with runtime versions of the multimedia components, the source code for labs, the multimedia help facility, and ancillary documents.
