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

本次研讨会的目的是传播有助于计算机科学课程和课程改革的材料。该方法是先前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包含封闭实验室的4门核心课程。讲课材料和内容是支持实验室的，而不是相反，通常是这样做的。这项工作于1995年夏天完成。该计划为期5天，参与者从全国各地的一系列项目中挑选出来。参与者应熟悉c++，并对开发计算机科学早期教育的新课程、实验材料和方法感兴趣。c++将是这项工作的实用语言。参与者将获得一套完整的软件和打印材料，并将其带回本国机构。这将包括讲座幻灯片、实验手册和教师手册。更重要的是，每个参与者都有机会体验教材的教学和技术驱动力，以及如何使用它们。当参与者回到他们的CS课程时，他们将能够申请/使用这些材料。

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.
