Qian Fu; Xinyi Zhou; Yafeng Zheng; Zhenyi Wang – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Understanding algorithms is crucial for programming education, yet their abstract nature often challenges students. Algorithm visualisation (AV) has been proven effective in enhancing algorithmic thinking among university students. However, its efficacy for elementary school students and the optimal forms of AV tools remain unclear.…

Shian-Shyong Tseng; Tsung-Yu Yang; Wen-Chung Shih; Bo-Yang Shan – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
In this paper, to handle the problem of the quick evolution of cyber-security attacks, we developed the iMonsters board game and proposed the attack and defense knowledge self-evolving algorithm. Three versions of the iMonsters were launched in 2013, 2017, and 2019, respectively. Accordingly, the cyber-security ontology can be refined by the…
