Summary
This chapter addresses the issues of implementing a variety of computer science-based courses and, in particular, how user interaction has been facilitated in the courseware. A suite of multimedia-based tools have been developed to facilitate such systems and these will be described in this chapter.
A variety of disciplines have benefited notably C programming, X Window programming, Internet Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Parallel Computing, Computer Vision, Image Processing and Computer Graphics. This ranges from the provision of online lecture notes, exercises and their solutions to more interactive packages suited primarily for teaching and demonstration packages. Appropriate examples from these courses, that illustrate a broad range of interactive activities, are given in this chapter.
This chapter concentrates on recent developments we have made to our courseware concerning the provision of more comprehensive user interaction where appropriate.
