Instructional Computing: Current Issues and Solutions

在四个不同的地理区域拟议的一系列四个研讨会的目的是提供一个财政上可访问的机会，教师，教学支持人员，和教学计算管理员在两年制学院和较低的司小四年制学院熟悉当前的问题，并获得一些新兴技术在教学计算的工作知识。为实现这一目的，将举办四次为期两天的讲习班和后续活动，每组有30名参加者。每个研讨会将侧重于三个特定的主题领域：新兴技术，资源管理和教学方法。在每个主题领域，重点将放在提供详细，具体，有意义的，适用的，现实的，可实现的解决方案所处理的问题。实验室设施将可用于实践和加强正在制定的解决方案。通过与该领域的专家嘉宾演讲者的联系，参与者将了解该技术的工作实施细节。在讲习班活动结束后，将要求每一位参加者在当地举办一次后续研讨会，传播讲习班上获得的材料和知识。这些后续活动将为参与者提供与当地同事互动的手段，以讨论在其机构实施解决方案。该项目的成果将由参与者以专业期刊文章和会议发言的形式提出，并张贴在万维网上。ACM两年制大学教育委员会于1996年2月16日至17日在费城举行的SIGCSE技术研讨会上成功地举办了一个由三部分组成的研讨会。

The purpose of the proposed series of four workshops at four different geographical areas is to provide a financially-accessible opportunity for faculty, instructional support staff, and instructional computing administrators at two-year colleges and the lower-division of small four-year colleges to become familiar with current issues and obtain a working knowledge of some of the emerging technologies in instructional computing. This purpose will be achieved through a series of four two-day workshops and follow-up activities involving four groups of thirty participants each. Each workshop will focus on three specific topic areas: Emerging Technologies, Resource Management, and Instructional Methodologies. Within each topic area, emphasis will be placed ol providing detailed, specific, meaningful, applicable, realistic, achievable solutions to the issues being addressed. Laboratory facilities will be available to practice and reinforce the solutions being developed. Through contact with guest presenters, who are experts in the field, participants will become informed about the details of working implementations of the technology. Upon completion of the workshop activities, each participant will be required to conduct a local follow-up seminar to disseminate materials and knowledge gained from the workshop. These follow-up activities will provide means for participants to interact with local colleagues to discuss implementing solutions at their institutions. The results of the project will be presented by participants as professional journal articles and conference presentations as well as posted on the World Wide Web. A prototype of the proposed workshop series was successfully conducted by the ACM two-year College Education Committee on February 16-17, 1996 as a three-part workshop at the SIGCSE Technical Symposium in Philadelphia.
