The Teaching Machine has proved useful for delivery of a variety of lecture courses at different levels
- We are embarking on applying it to distance courses
Use of the visualization tool should be a natural extension of the lecture process
- We animate the notes themselves
- For self-study this is doubly important as students do not switch applications.
Appears to increase student understanding
- To help students build effective mental models
The Teaching Machine and WW++ are platforms for future developments
- New visualizations. E.g. more speciallized visualizations.
- New forms of I/O. E.g. images, turtles, robots, etc.
