A Survey of Innovation in Undergraduate Computer Science Education

Abstract

The focus of Computer Science Education research has been innovation and increasing the learning experience. Knowledge has grown exponentially in all disciplines within computer science. Over the last decade, computer science education has been evolving from abstract subject matter to increased innovation. Studies show improved learning using automated and visual learning tools like simulations, virtualization, visualization, and video-like games. Recent research shows enhanced learning tools like visual automation, simulation, and video games are more beneficial than detrimental. This review will present some of the more innovative ways to give Computer Science Education.
