9451972 Stone Grinnell College is breaking down the barrier between lecture and laboratory in four fundamental courses that affect mathematics, computer science, and science majors: multivariable calculus, linear algebra, introductory programming, and introductory statistics. Instead of fixed-length labs in a separate laboratory room, they are weaving variable-length "mini-labs" into the fabric of lectures and discussion in a blended laboratory/classroom. This innovation makes it possible to integrate the laboratory experience more thoroughly with the theoretical content of the course, to strengthen the impact of this experience through in-class analysis and discussion immediately following the laboratory, and to position labs more flexibly, providing the experience just when the students need it. The hardware for such in-class integrated laboratory experiences supports quick access to software by many student users simultaneously, an easy-to-use graphic interface providing multiple large windows, high-quality color graphics and animations, clear display of large data sets and matrices, and access to large application packages. In the design for evaluating and disseminating the mini-lab materials that they are developing, they are building on their experiences as leaders and contributors in several projects with national impact -- projects in which they designed, evaluated, and disseminated innovative course materials.

9451972 Stone Grinnell College将在影响数学，计算机科学和科学专业的四个基本课程中打破讲座和实验室之间的障碍：多变量的微积分，线性代数，入门节目编程和入门统计数据。它们不是在单独的实验室中的固定长度实验室，而是将可变的“迷你lab”编织到混合实验室/教室中的讲座结构中。这项创新使得可以更彻底地将实验室体验与课程的理论内容整合在一起，以通过在实验室后立即通过课堂分析和讨论来增强这种体验的影响，并更灵活地定位实验室，并在学生需要时提供体验。 此类综合实验室体验的硬件同时支持许多学生用户快速访问软件，这是一个易于使用的图形界面，可提供多个大窗口，高质量的颜色图形和动画，清晰显示大型数据集和矩阵，以及访问大型应用程序包。在评估和传播他们正在开发的迷你LAB材料的设计中，他们正在基于他们作为具有国家影响力的几个项目的领导者和贡献者的经验 - 他们设计，评估和传播创新的课程材料的项目。
