Runtime Revolution: An easy to learn programming software for educators
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The public has high hopes for computer technologies in the public schools. An issue to be addressed is how best to utilize this investment. Computer technologies utilizing multiple media and interactivity are beneficial in teaching and learning. The production and sharing of learning objects demands that the educators possess the ability to create them. Numerous studies reveal that most instructors do not venture beyond such “basic” computer usage tasks as email, the web and word processing. This article briefly examines novice/non-programmers and the multimedia authoring program Revolution concentrating on its programming language, visualization, and the possibility for meaningful module production/reuse.

A new application programming interface for evaluating functions and specifying optimization problems at runtime has been developed. The new interface, named FEFAR, uses a simple language named LEFAR. Compared with other modeling languages such as AMPL or OSil, LEFAR is Fortranlike hence easy to learn and use, in particular for Fortran programmers. FEFAR itself is a Fortran subroutine hence eas...
