Embedding algorithm pseudocode in lyrics to facilitate recall and promote learning
Benjamin Schreiber, John Paul Dougherty · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2017
We introduce a sequence of three videos for binary search. This sequence takes the student through the problem, solution, algorithm and analysis, and mnemonic song with rhyming pseudocode lyrics. Having these materials in video form provides an alternate way to introduce binary search that can be used outside the classroom. We also suggest that this approach supports computational thinking, along with universal design in learning as visual and audio materials are both available.
