An Electronic Lab Book for an Introductory Programming Course

1994年秋天，对使用计算机解决ACS168结构化问题进行了更改。这些变化包括从大型机转移到个人计算机环境，将语言改为C语言，以及增加每周两小时的实验室。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，并使学生能够提供交互的、使用图形用户界面、使用多媒体演示的创新体验，并且更接近学生以前的体验。还开发和实施了支持实验室会议的实验室单元，其中约一半有多媒体组件。原型模块仅使用创作工具(多媒体工具书)的图形功能。主要调查人员寻求支持，以扩展模块以包括音频、扫描图像和视频剪辑。这笔赠款用于为ACS168开发和使用一本电子CD-ROM实验书。实验手册有两个版本：(1)教师版，包含实验模块，包括多媒体组件的运行时版本、实验源代码、多媒体帮助工具、实验活动答案、教师实验手册和自动评分系统；(2)学生版，包含实验模块，包括多媒体组件的运行时版本、实验源代码、多媒体帮助工具和辅助文档。

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.
