Workshop on Physics Educational Software

这个项目让来自该国西南部的40名参与者集中接触到适用于本科物理课程的个人生产力和教学增强软件。研讨会由新墨西哥州立大学的专家主持，该大学有一个项目，旨在将更多的计算机应用引入其本科课程。参与者是从该地区的两年制和四年制大学中挑选出来的，优先考虑那些服务于大量拉美裔和美洲原住民学生的机构。在这一周里，参与者听取专家的讨论，并演示各种计算机程序的能力。在下午，参与者实际上会使用该软件为自己的课程创建应用程序。由参与者创建的应用程序制作的时事通讯确保了好想法得到广泛传播。研讨会的目的是向相当数量的本科生教师介绍各种计算机程序的能力和操作，这些程序可以加强他们的课程教学。

This project gives 40 participants from the southwestern section of the country intensive exposure to personal productivity and teaching enhancement software applicable to undergraduate physics courses. The workshop is conducted by experts from New Mexico State University, which has a program to introduce more computer usage to its undergraduate curriculum. The participants are selected from two and four year colleges from the region with preference given to those from institutions serving significant numbers of Hispanic and Native American students. During the week the participants listen to experts discuss and demonstrate the capabilities of various computer programs. In the afternoons, the participants actually use the software to create applications for their own courses. A newsletter produced from the applications created by the participants insures that good ideas are given wide distribution. The objective of the workshop is to introduce a significant number of undergraduate faculty to the capabilities and operation of various computer programs which can enhance the teaching of their courses.
