WebBook: A Prototype for the Next Generation of Interactive Computer Science Learning Resources

计算机科学(31)WebBook项目证明了使用Web提供下一代、基于探究的、主动学习的教育资源的可行性。开发并正式评估了一个融合了标准文本、图形、关键概念的交互动画、声音和声音的原型《超级教科书》。标准的网站创建技术被用来确保原型可以在所有平台上的任何常见Web浏览器上使用，使世界上任何人都可以访问它，而不需要购买特殊的软件或硬件。该原型包含了计算理论的基本主题。当遇到关键概念时，动画以无缝的方式呈现，允许学习者在探索概念的同时控制驱动动画的参数。该原型被设计为开发超级教科书的通用模型，激励其他科学和工程学科创造类似的资源。

Computer Science (31)The WebBook project demonstrates the feasibility of using the Web to deliver next-generation, inquiry-based, active learning educational resources. A prototype "hypertextbook" blending standard text, graphics, interactive animations of key concepts, voice, and sound into a seamless whole is developed and formally evaluated. Standard Web-site creation technologies are used to ensure that the prototype can be used with any of the usual Web browsers on all platforms, making it accessible to anyone in the world without the need to purchase special software or hardware. The prototype encompasses the basic topics in theory of computing. As key concepts are encountered, animations are presented in seamless fashion that allow the learner to explore the concept while controlling parameters that drive the animation. The prototype is designed to serve as a general model for the development of hypertextbooks, inspiring the creation of similar resources in other science and engineering disciplines.
