Using Visual Feedback and Model Programs in Introductory Computer Science.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brown, Cynthia; And Others – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 1992
A teaching method for introductory computer science based on visualization and using extensive amounts of software is explained. Visualization is used to integrate other student activities, including reading algorithm and data structure descriptions, studying code for model programs and toolkits, designing software components, and building or…

Cellular Automata and the Humanities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gallo, Ernest – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 1994
The use of cellular automata to analyze several pre-Socratic hypotheses about the evolution of the physical world is discussed. These hypotheses combine characteristics of both rigorous and metaphoric language. Since the computer demands explicit instructions for each step in the evolution of the automaton, such models can reveal conceptual…

Cook, Diane J.; Huber, Manfred; Yerraballi, Ramesh; Holder, Lawrence B. – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2004
The goal of this project is to develop a unique simulation environment that can be used to increase students' interest and expertise in Computer Science curriculum. Hands-on experience with physical or simulated equipment is an essential ingredient for learning, but many approaches to training develop a separate piece of equipment or software for…
