Many educators believe that in order to achieve this 21st century skills must be taught and that digital literacy should be coupled with rigorous Computer Science principles and computational thinking. Accordingly this work will describe a didactic experience in an introductory programming course by describing the context, pedagogical approach, content of the course based on a procedure-first approach, technologies used, research questions addressed, experimental design adopted, data collection and analysis and the main conclusion supported by qualitative and quantitative data. The research questions focus on understanding which is the best medium to design algorithms by comparing flow chart and the Scratch programming language and by evaluating whether using textual language is worth the effort of the syntactic burden imposed by these languages. An analysis of quantitative and qualitative data revealed that both a visual programming and a flow-chart approach are suitable for algorithm design with no statistical difference in terms of number of errors and time taken to write the corresponding code in a textual language. However, the high number of errors suggest that using visual programming allows the student to focus on the problem solving activities.","PeriodicalId":403342,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122075357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

And recent advancements of WebGL, JavaScript API for computer graphic programming that works on any modern browsers, enable us to draw animations of a fully human-like embodied computer graphics character on web-browsers. With these technologies, web-based e-learning could be more interactive. We propose interactive e-Lecture, where lecturers' three dimensional motions and audio are captured by a motion capture system, then a 3D avatar interactively performs the lecture. The advantage of the use of computer graphics character to perform lectures instead of videos is that e-learning designers can introduce interaction into the e-learning. For example, by controlling the avatar's head and eye movements according to the results of face-recognition, the eye-gaze behavior could be realized. We recorded 3D motions of a lecture performed by a volunteer with a motion capture system, and created a small lecture data. We also developed a web-based viewer that can process the 3D motion data and draw a lecture performed by a 3D avatar on a web-browser.","PeriodicalId":403342,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126512961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
