Fun with Pair
Programming |
A professionally-developed
instructional video for educators to show to their students as an
introduction to pair programming. The video describes what pair programming
is, the do's and don'ts of effective pairing, and the pros and cons of pair
programming. |

Pathways
in Computer Science |
This video illustrates the
diverse pathways that students pursue after receiving Bachelors degrees in
computer science or computer engineering by profiling five unique
applications of the field. o Research scientist in computational biology o Graduate student working on technology to improve forest firefighting techniques o Neurobotics Faculty Member - making better prosthetic devices for people with disabilities o Tactile Graphics Research: students working to make textbook graphics readable to blind students o
Undergraduate student working in |

Programming
the PDP-11
|
This video follows a professor-student pair on a "visit" to a 1970s-era computer room where a programmer demonstrates programming a PDP-11/10. During the visit the programmer demonstrates toggling a machine language program into the PDP-11 and developing assembly language programs using a paper tape system. Viewer interest is maintained by using a humorous (some would say "corny" is a better term) story line. This video was designed to be used in computer organization courses to demonstrate concepts such as bits, bytes, octal, loaders, and two pass assemblers. |

Teaching
Teaching & Understanding Understanding |
"Teaching Teaching & Understanding Understanding" is an award-winning film about university and tertiary teaching generally. We follow Susan and Robert in their studies. Susan is a model student using learning activities that deepen her understanding; Robert uses low level activities that only just scrape him a pass. The teaching challenge is to engage Robert to study at a deep level too. The key is "Constructive Alignment", a design for teaching developed by John Biggs, which builds our knowledge of how humans learn into the design of teaching. The learning activities needed to achieve the intended outcomes are embedded in both teaching and assessment. Robert now has the support and incentive to learn like Susan does. |

Let's sing
about recursion |
This video demonstrates an atypical way to help students to develop "computational thinking." The Recursion Song is a different set of lyrics for the classic children's song "It's Raining, It's Pouring." These lyrics describe recursion, as well as demonstrate recursion as the lyrics are generated with a simple recursive algorithm. Furthermore, the music itself proceeds recursively. I also obtain some qualitative feedback from students about the song, to be posted at www.cs.haverford.edu/songs. This song is one example of my project on "computational singing." |

Exercise:
Bumper Turtles. Agents interacting with environment |
This video tutorial is one of a series of Project GUTS videos introducing StarLogo TNG and agent-based modeling as a tool for understanding complex systems. The target audience is comprised of middle school students and their teachers who serve as after school Project GUTS club leaders. |

Automatic
Animation of Java Programs with Jeliot 3
|
Jeliot 3 is a freely distributable animation system for Java programs. This video shows how Jeliot 3 automatically animates step-by-step two demonstration programs. The first example animates variable declaration and nested if-else statements. Jeliot 3 informs of the users on the result of the condition evaluation, and users can later visualize the selected branch that is executed. The second example introduces the animation of object oriented features, which are supported by Jeliot. The video shows the steps taken in an object construction. Jeliot 3 animates the constructor call, the object allocation, the variable initialization, the constructor execution and the object reference passing. Jeliot 3 provides the teachers with a reliable visualization of programming concepts that can be used with zero-preparation time. |

CSE 466 Software
for Embedded Systems Capstone |
Capstone focuses on
software issues in the design of embedded systems, emphasizing practical
application of development platforms. Goals include: 1. Understanding basic microcontroller architecture and the motivation for special features that distinguish them from microprocessors. 2. Understanding interfacing techniques for connecting microcontrollers to a variety of sensors and actuators (digital/analog). 3. Appreciation power management methods. 4. Understanding basic communication protocols both wired and wireless. 5. Facility with a complete set of tools for embedded systems programming and debugging. 6. Experience with implementing several embedded systems focusing on interaction between multiple devices and between devices and general-purpose computers. |

CSE 477
Technology for Low-Income Regions |
Capstone focuses on software
issues in the design of embedded systems, emphasizing practical application
of development platforms. Goals include: o Understanding of basic microcontrollers and their use in embedded system design. o Familiarity with basic serial and parallel communication methods. o Experience the design and development of a complete product using hardware and software, from design to implementation and debugging. o Ability
to present design goals and decisions as well as implementation results o Ability to work toward a common goal in a team environment. |

My
Keyboard From Input to Output |
This video demonstrates an
atypical way to help students to develop "computational thinking."
Input-Output is a song to provide a way to touch on some of the terms and
concepts used in the HCI segment of our CS0 course (cs100) at |

Mad Phd
Makes Objects |
This animation uses the
analogy of building houses from blueprints to explain the concepts behind
creating objects in Java. The concepts of defining classes, making instances
of objects based on class definitions and using reference variables to access
those instances are illustrated as Mad Phd and her friends build their houses
in the Happy Hills development. |

Behind the
Scenes
|
Behind the Scenes is the result of a mid-term group project created by Roger Altizer,
Jr., Keith Cormier, Chame Dalton, Todd Trotter for Robert Kessler’s CS 5964:
Machinima class in the Spring of 2007. It is a humorous romp through the
world of Machinima made possible through clever manipulation of the PC game
Half-Life 2. |

The
Treasure Hunt
|
These are demonstrations of activities from the Computer Science Unplugged material that communicates what Computer Science is without using computers. We find that once teachers have seen the demonstration, they are more motivated and understand the point a lot better, which is why the videos were produced. An important aspect of this video is that it is available in multiple languages (English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Swedish and German). This is to make sure we communicate the activities clearly, as they are unusual in any culture! The translations have been designed carefully to communicate to non-specialists |
