Conflictive animations as engaging learning tools
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we introduce the concept of conflictive animations and discuss its applicability in programming and algorithm design courses. Conflictive animations are animations that deviate from the expected behaviour of the program or algorithm they are supposed to present. With respect to the engagement taxonomy, we propose several ways of learning with conflictive animations. We also initiate a discussion about their possible benefits and drawbacks.

متن کاملComputer Animations as Learning Objects: What is an Efficient Instructional Design, and for whom?
The creation of computer animations is relatively costly and time consuming. However, their educational power is high if designed properly. It is therefore of increasing importance to establish animations with optimal instructional design properties. Commercial e-learning tools show an enhanced tendency to incorporate 3D-animations although their production is rather costly as compared to the p...
متن کاملUsing java aplets to help make online assessment interactive
For those involved in designing online environments special attention must be afforded to interactivity. Online tasks should involve students actively engaging with tools and resources they will potentially use in their later employment.
