An interactive learning system visualizing computer graphics algorithms
Achim W. Janser · ACM SIGCSE Bulletin · 1997
At our universities the integration of computers into the classical lectures becomes more and more important, because their usage improves the quality of teaching. Our learning system is concerned with the visualization of Computer Graphics Algorithms. Such an algorithm can hardly be taught on a blackboard or an overhead, because the dynamic and the changes during its execution cannot be illustrated properly on a static display. In a learning system the algorithm can be visualized by using sample outputs that develop stepwise during the execution and by showing the most important variables with their values changing after certain commands. Our learning system is aimed to be used in addition to a classical lecture and practice.
