The University of California Berkeley is developing courseware for a computer class laboratory that is a central feature of a new four-semester calculus sequence. Students spend three hours a week in this computer laboratory working in groups of 25 using the courseware with a trained Graduate Student Instructor. This laboratory work is fully integrated with three hours of lectures in a traditional large class format. The courseware consists of detailed lesson plans and worksheets together with implementation in MatLab. The laboratory courseware attempts to balance individual and group work, integrates computer and paper and pencil work, and integrates with an existing traditional curriculum. Further, the overall project is creating an infrastructure in the department that makes it inviting and easy for all faculty to teach in these new courses. The project pays particular attention to the proper training of the Graduate Student Instructors. The project is collaborating with the Professional Development Program at Berkeley by featuring elements that are aimed at improving the success rates of at-risk students in these key gateway courses. Project results are being widely disseminated through presentations, a World Wide Web site, and commercial publication.

加州伯克利大学正在为一个计算机类实验室开发课件，这是一个新的四学期微积分序列的中心特征。学生每周花三个小时在这个计算机实验室工作，25人一组，与训练有素的研究生导师一起使用课件。这个实验室的工作是完全集成在一个传统的大班格式的三个小时的讲座。该课件包括详细的教案和演示以及在MatLab中的实现。实验室课件试图平衡个人和小组工作，整合计算机和纸笔工作，并与现有的传统课程整合。此外，整个项目正在部门中创建一个基础设施，使所有教师都能轻松地教授这些新课程。 该项目特别重视研究生导师的适当培训。该项目正在与伯克利的专业发展计划合作，其特点是旨在提高这些关键门户课程的风险学生的成功率。项目成果正通过专题介绍、万维网网址和商业出版物广泛传播。
