Abstract

The paper concerns the critical role of separable user interface design in teaching object oriented systems. M206 "Computing: An Object-oriented Approach" is a large scale university level introduction to software development designed from scratch for distance learning, using an objects first approach with Smalltalk. The course is degree level, counting as one-sixth of a degree, and is being offered in the UK, Western Europe and Singapore. To address the needs of industry, we have developed a radical syllabus that adheres to the principle of designing complex systems by separating view and model, and have developed a programming and learning environment to support these ideas. We examine how separable user interface architectures have guided our teaching of object technology and the design of powerful microworlds that are both usable and extendible by neophytes. The course and relevant teaching with software is outlined and the technical design and pedagogic use of the microworlds and GUI builder tool are described.

教学对象技术中的可分离UI结构

本文讨论了可分离用户界面设计在面向对象系统教学中的关键作用。M206“计算:一个面向对象的方法”是一个大规模的大学水平的软件开发介绍，从零开始设计远程学习，使用Smalltalk的对象优先方法。该课程属于学位级别，相当于一个学位的六分之一，目前在英国、西欧和新加坡开设。为了满足行业的需求，我们开发了一个激进的教学大纲，坚持通过分离视图和模型来设计复杂系统的原则，并开发了一个编程和学习环境来支持这些想法。我们研究了可分离的用户界面架构如何指导我们的对象技术教学和强大的微世界的设计，这些微世界既可被新手使用又可扩展。概述了该课程和相关的软件教学，并描述了微世界和GUI构建工具的技术设计和教学使用。
