Personal student workstations
Leslie J. Waguespack · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 1985
One of the most pressing problems in computer science education at the undergraduate level today is providing effective laboratory facilities to allow the theories of the classroom to be experienced through exercise.The problem will reach crisis proportions as the demand for computer professionals continues and the education budgets fail to keep pace!We propose the personal :student workstation as a means of addressing this problem.We present a requirements model (functions students need to perform) as a layered set of capabilities to be provided on a personal student workstation.We group student tasks into levels of workstation function --and therefore, levels of laboratory achievement.We report on current efforts to prototype such a workstation at Bentley Col lege.
