  abstract =     "The development and implementation of closed
                 laboratories in the undergraduate curriculum continues
                 to be an important trend in computer science education.
                 Most textbooks intended for use in CS1 and CS2 level
                 courses are now supplemented with closed laboratory
                 manuals. Many instructors have reported efforts to
                 incorporate closed labs into other courses as well. The
                 National Science Foundation has funded several projects
                 of both local and national scope aimed at promoting the
                 integration of closed laboratories into the
                 undergraduate curriculum. In this paper we describe the
                 experimental authorware system PHIL, which is designed
                 to create laboratory exercises for computer science
                 courses, particularly CS1 and CS2. The outputs of this
                 system are interactive MS Windows ``laboratory''
                 documents, which guide students through a series of
                 activities and questions. These activities and
                 questions are presented via windows which provide the
                 students with objectives, instructions, and different
                 types of controls for student responses (such as text
                 edit fields). Activity windows can be linked with
                 useful external applications, such as compilers,
                 through buttons to permit easy access. Menu choices
                 allow the student to save and retrieve lab documents
                 from disk, as well as print equivalent hard-copy
                 versions of the documents. Authors using the system can
                 create new lab programs by customizing and recombining
                 pre-existing activities, or can create entirely new
                 activities based on predefined templates. The PHL
                 system is based on parallel hierarchies of lab activity
                 objects developed using Borland C++ and ObjectWindows,
                 the Borland framework for creating MS Windows
                 applications. The goals of this system are to encourage
                 reuse of lab material developed for CS1 and CS2
                 courses, to provide a convenient and extensible
                 environment for developing CS lab material, and to
                 provide a stimulating and sophisticated closed lab
                 environment for lower division CS courses.",
