Abstract

An instructional operating system is one intended for use in teaching courses in operating systems. Student programming assignments develop or enhance the instructional operating system. This paper presents an overview of the issues related to using operating systems, especially instructional ones, in coursework. We also present results of a survey we conducted to determine which instructional operating systems are in use at campuses in the United States.
