Abstract

An experiment measuring the effect of different hardware configurations on the teaching of an introductory programming course is described. The situation before the experiment is delineated. The hardware selection is described. The experimental experience with the new hardware is described. The evaluation mechanism is defined delineating the variables to be measured and the controls. The results of the evaluation are presented. The actions based upon the results are delineated. Conclusions are drawn.
