A newly developed method in the mapping sciences is presented by means of an educational package. Animations and hypertexts are used for the explanations, and experiments with changing data sets can be carried out. In such learning by experiments the new mapping method is easier to understand. The Internet-based interactive program can be used by means of a browser and are therefore available f...

Fuegito is an educational software package for learning about programming two player games. The package provides a simple, yet flexible and extensible framework which allows students to study the core search algorithms of computer game-playing, and extend them easily in projects. The current version of Fuegito supports alphabeta and Monte Carlo Tree Search as main game tree search methods, as w...

Since the explosion in multimedia computing, educators have been trying to work their way towards integrated human-computer interaction. Consequently, a large number of multimedia tools have been created, always following the trend of simpler and easier multimedia development. After outlining the transition from hardcore programming to modern multimedia authoring systems, this paper leads the w...

A highly interactive, user-friendly object-oriented software package written in LispStat is introduced that performs simple and multiple correspondence analysis, and profile analysis. These three techniques are integrated into a single environment driven by a user-friendly graphical interface that takes advantage of Lisp-Stat’s advanced graphical capabilities. Techniques that assess the stabili...

Graphs representing interconnection networks are often drawn without considering inherent symmetry and bisection properties. By using the nauty package for analyzing a graph for automorphisms, vertices are then displayed in AT&T’s NEATO package to make topologically-equivalent vertices obvious. Edges are similarly colored based on the METIS package’s heuristic for bisecting a graph by removing ...

We have developed a LATEX2ε package, pfa-macros, usable for both presentational education, concerning ‘classical’ students, and distance education, where most of a curriculum is performed by means of online documents. First, we explain why requirements for educational documents are not the same for these two ways of teaching. Then we show why our package allows us to manage two versions—printed...
