Abstract
CLAP is a pedagogical approach for Computer Science education, applied here especially to laboratory courses. CLAP or Creative Lab with Active Participation provides an open learning environment, utilizing creative problem solving methods. For successful learning, CLAP emphasizes group processes. Pilot courses using CLAP were carried out during the Fall Semester of 1996 and the Spring Semester of 1997.
