Workshops on Algorithm Visualization in Computer Science Laboratories

各级计算机科学课程应该具有的概念 结构化的实验室组件正在迅速获得国家 动力。劳伦斯大学的教师正在完成一项三- 一年的项目，其中包括一个算法可视化 实验室到课程跨越整个计算机科学 课程。 在这个项目中，他们开发了软件， 图形动画算法和附带的实验室 使用该软件的练习。 他们现在将提供一对 为期一周的密集研讨会， 本科教师作者自己的可视化为基础的 实验练习使用的软件，可在 VAX Station、Macintosh或IBM PC兼容机。 一周后 在研讨会结束后，与会者将能够继续准备 在他们的家乡机构这样做。 本次研讨会后的工作 将通过电子邮件或其他磁性媒体分发。 因此，讲习班和讲习班后活动的结合将 形成了一个全国范围的计算机科学教育工作者核心小组， 积极开发有趣的实验室练习和设施。

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.
