1. Why integrating lectures and lab exercises is hard?
2. What might be a process for doing so?
3. Using RDz as the portal to the Mainframe
4. Some examples:
Lab 1: Integrated Development Environments Lab 2: Data Formats Lab 3: Hardware/Software Architecture Lab 4: Operating Systems Lab 5: Batch Workloads Lab 6: File Management Lab 7: File Management – Indexed Datasets
5. What do you need for success?
Teaching with Labs is Fun…
3
But hard… why? Students have different learning styles
Students learn at different rates
Students have different levels of interest
Students don’t read
Students main problem solving method is “trial & error” and Google
Lab-based courses are harder to teach:
Students have questions at the same time You are a hostage to environment Not all problems are related to content
4
The Process
Steps … Determine learning
outcomes
Find the right course
Match – course’s content to experiential component
