Evaluating Java Applets for Teaching on the Internet

چکیده
The Web Interface for Statistics Education (http://wise.cgu.edu) is a website built around interactive tutorials designed to teach introductory and advanced statistical concepts. The tutorials use Java applets that dynamically illustrate the statistical concepts being taught. By using Java applets, we teach statistics in a manner not possible in a traditional classroom environment. In this paper, we provide examples of the applets, illustrate how students use them, and we report the outcome of a study that examined tutorial effectiveness as a learning tool.

Digital Design Learning System Based on Java Applets
In this paper, we offer tools which support the learning process in computer engineering area. The greater part of the tools is intended mainly to illustrate problems in control intensive digital systems such as investigation of tradeoffs between the system’s speed and the cost of hardware, control part decomposition, simulation, fault simulation, test generation, built-in self-test, and some o...
متن کاملDistance Learning Tools for the Field of Electronics Design and Test
A conception of a training system for teaching design and test of electronic circuits is presented. A set of tools was designed for exercising design, test and diagnostics related problems in gate-level digital circuits and register transfer (RT) level digital systems. Such topics as investigation of tradeoffs between speed and hardware cost in a digital design, gateand RT-level simulation, fau...
متن کاملJava Applets for the Dynamic Visualization of Voronoi Diagrams
We discuss the design of Java applets that visualize how the Voronoi diagram of n points continuously changes as individual points are moved across the plane, or as the underlying distance function is changed. Moreover, we report on some experiences made in using these applets in teaching and research. The applets can be found and tried out at http://wwwpi6.fernuni-hagen.de/GeomLab/.
متن کاملInteractive Content in Web Pages to Teach Statistics
Computer-based teaching material must contain animation or interaction to offer substantial benefits over delivery on paper. Technology developed for use in web browsers — especially Java and JavaScript — makes it relatively easy to add interactive diagrams to web pages. The objectoriented nature of Java is well suited to developing a large collection of interactive diagrams (applets) for teach...
