At Monash University (Caulfield campus) we are using Scheme as our first programming language for the 550 undergraduates in the Bachelor of Computing. Scheme is also used as the vehicle in the first programming subject in the Master of Computing. A number of tools have been developed in Scheme to support that teaching including: . step-by-step evaluation of student procedures. . general purpose test harness. . on-line access to lecture materials and reviews of same. . scheme oriented authoring system for overhead transparencies, tutorial exercises, assignments, unit tests and formal examination scripts. . numerous interrogatory procedures for students to explore their environment. In the immediate term, I am interested in establishing contact with other institutions/individuals that are following a similar path. In the medium term, I am looking for some possible cooperative effort with a kindred spirit who is also vitally interested in Scheme and teaching and all combinations of same. *********************************************************** * Rob Hagan * * Department of Software Development * * Faculty of Computing and Information Technology * * Monash University (Caulfield Campus) * * * * PO Box 197 Phone + 61 3 573 2332 * * Caulfield East Vic 3145 Fax + 61 3 573 2745 * * AUSTRALIA email rhagan@monash.edu.au * * * * Management doesn't, Organisations aren't * ***********************************************************
