Finding a place for computer-equipped lectures in a lab-rich environment

Abstract

Many computer science courses are taught via a combination of lectures and laboratories; many of the lectures use a room equipped with a computer and data projector. But such lecture halls create a problem for instructors: how to use the lecture-hall computer for more than poor approximations to experiences students could have working one-on-one with a computer in the laboratory. One solution is to use computers in lecture halls as tools for collecting and archiving information, much of it generated by students (via methods such as questions, discussions, and group exercises). My initial experience using a lecture-hall computer in this manner was a great success.
