[comp.edu] another question

    Has anyone any experiences with instrumented classrooms and their 
value for teaching computer science?  I am refering specifically to rooms
with audiovisual equipment, large screen TV's or monitors which can show the
display of a computer, networks of microcomputers.  What I would like to 
know is how you use this euqipment and what benefits it has to students?  How
does its use affect what is covered in a course or what assignments students
are given?

	In our department we have a 30-seat lecture room equipped with
	an Electrohome Green and White (Composite-Signal) projector which
	I and the departmental chairman use in graduate courses:

		Scientific Applications of Personal Computers (NS)
		Software Engineering (P.E. Lauer)
		Programming Languages (P.E. Lauer)

	Both of use find this method of projecting programming invaluable.

	A few University class rooms are wired and our Audio-Visual Services
	can rent TV projectors to departments.  I intend to use one next
	year in a 60-student u/g class on Intel8088 programming.
