Abstract
A recent trend has been to accompany Computer Science courses by "closed laboratories" where students carried out tasks with supervision and guidance. This paper presents a methodology for designing a complete sequence of laboratories to support the instruction in a course. The design considers both the technical concepts to be conveyed and the learning experiences through which students learn. We demonstrate the way the methodology has been used to design the lab sequence for a Pascal-based CS1 course.

Design of a microcomputer laboratory for teaching computer science
Proceedings of the 12th SIGCSE symposium on Computer science educationOn the premise that many of the fundamental concepts of computer science can be better taught in a hands-on, dedicated computing environment (i.e., a microcomputer), as opposed to a large multi-purpose system in which the student is insulated from the ...
