自最早的算法可视化系统和研究以来,SIGCSE社区一直在探索多媒体在增强计算教育方面的作用[1]。媒体计算是一个焦点转移[2]。在算法可视化向学生呈现信息以促进他们理解的地方,媒体计算是关于让学生操纵媒体作为他们编程的数据,即,作为课程活动的重点。媒体计算专业的学生制作新的图像、声音和视频。我们的目标是证明计算机科学不仅仅是数字和字符串。计算机科学也是关于创造性表达的。最初的媒体计算工作集中在使用媒体来激励非计算专业的学生[2]。媒体在激发学生学习计算机教育方面的作用已经扩大。富有创造力的教师正在使用媒体计算为许多不同类型的学生,在不同类型的机构,与一系列的语言和工具包。这个特别会议是一个混合的“五分钟疯狂”,科学博览会,和艺术画廊。每位参与者将介绍他或她是如何使用媒体来激励学生学习的,一些学生的工作将可供观众检查
The SIGCSE community has been exploring the role of multimedia to enhance computing education since the earliest algorithm visualization systems and studies [1]. Media Computation is a shift in focus [2]. Where algorithm visualization presents information to the student to facilitate their understanding, media computation is about having students manipulate media as the data for their programming, i.e., as the focus of the course activities. Students in media computation produce new images, sounds, and video. We aim to show that computer science is about more than numbers and strings. Computer science is also about creative expression. The original media computation work focused on using media to motivate non-computing majors [2]. The role of media in motivating student learning for computing education has broadened. Inventive teachers are using media computation for lots of different kinds of students, at different kinds of institutions, with a range of languages and toolkits. This special session is a mixture of "Five Minute Madness," science fair, and art gallery. Each participant will present how he or she is using media to motivate student learning, and some student work will be available for audience inspection
