Computer graphics for student engagement in science learning

TechTrends, 2001
In summary, we delivered a visualization workshop designed to help learners use computer graphics to construct meaning while they study. When delivering visualization workshops in the natural setting of schools, problems are bound to arise. Technical failure, human interruptions, lack of active participation, limited access, distraction by alternate ...

Teaching computer graphics visual literacy to art and computer science students

ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics, 2000
Although it is a requisite skill for success in industry, visual literacy in graphics is intimidating to computer science and art students. Computer science majors are uneasy about using their eyes to examine images while art students may not have much background in the technical terminology.

Graphic designers who program as informal computer science learners

Proceedings of the second international workshop on Computing education research, 2006
We introduce end-user programmers as a group of persons engaged in informal Computer Science education. Results of a small-scale survey for a previously unstudied population of end-users, users of graphics manipulation software, are presented. We find that graphic designers are taking part in significant programming activities, despite little to no ...

Using computer animated graphics in science instruction with children.

Journal of Educational Psychology, 1990
The effects of animated presentations and practice were studied in a computer-based science lesson involving fourth- and fifth-grade students. Three levels of visual elaboration (static graphics, animated graphics, and no graphics) were crossed with three levels of practice (behavioral, cognitive, and no practice).

Graphics‐Based Learning in First‐Year Computer Science

Computer Graphics Forum, 2007
Abstract This paper proposes a method for teaching a first‐year course in computer science using graphics‐based problems as the teaching medium. Specifically, we present a method for instruction in programming using a semester‐long project of developing a ray tracer.
