Workshop to Promote Course/Curriculum Change Using C + + and the Closed Laboratory Model

本次研讨会的目的是传播材料，将有助于计算机科学课程和课程的变化。该方法是以前NSF CCD资助（CS-NSF- 5239-92）的直接结果，该资助侧重于使用C++和封闭实验室来实现更好的教学/学习环境。这个新课程的重点是一个4门课程的核心序列，其中包括封闭的实验室。 讲座材料和内容是支持实验室，而不是相反，因为通常做的。 这项工作于1995年夏天完成。 拟议的研讨会为期5天，与会者从全国各地的一系列项目中选出。参与者将被期望熟悉C++，并有兴趣为计算机科学教育的早期开发新的课程和实验室材料和方法。C++将是这项工作的实用语言。 向参加者提供一套完整的软件和印刷材料，以便带回本国机构。 这将包括演讲幻灯片，实验室手册和教师手册。 更重要的是，每个参与者都有机会体验材料的教学和技术驱动力，以及如何使用它们。参与者将能够应用/使用此材料时，他们返回到他们的CS程序。

The objective of this workshop is to disseminate material that will assist in Computer Science course and curriculum changes. The approach is the direct result of previous NSF CCD funding (CS-NSF- 5239-92) which focused on the use of C++ and closed laboratories to effect a better teaching/learning environment. The keystone of this new curriculum is a 4-course core sequence which incorporates closed laboratories. Lecture materials and content are supportive of the laboratories rather that the reverse as is usually done. This work was completed in the summer of 1995. The proposed workshop with be 5 days, with participants selected from a range of programs across the nation. Participants will be expected to familiar with C++, and interested in developing new curriculum and laboratory material and methods for the early years of Computer Science education. C++ will be the utility language for this work. Participants are supplied with a complete set of software and printed material to carry back to the home institution. This will include lecture slides, laboratory manuals, and teacher's manuals. More important will be the opportunity for each participant to experience the pedagogical and technical driving forces for the material, and how they are used. Participants will be able to apply/use this material when they return to their CS programs.
