A summary of comments and findings of the earlier publications are:1) The primary purpose of the animation software is to help the student appreciate and understand Dynamics concepts more completely.2) There is no software to install and there is absolutely no programming required of the user.3) The animations can be played on virtually any computer; the Adobe Flash® Player is installed on 98.8% of internet-enabled desktops worldwide7.4) The software is extremely easy to use; the controls are similar to those of a DVD player.5) Because the program is “hard-coded” in Adobe Flash ActionScript, there is an abundance

The pedagogical goal is demonstration that you, thecomputer science student, can respect and pursue ethics along with technology, although themethods and milieus differ.Presentation of the standard theories, as outlined herein, takes only one or two of 15 meetings.Again, these techniques are the tools deployed to ground the teaching of ethics in computing, butnot the subject of that teaching.

programming language has long been a staple in college computing education. AlthoughJava and Python are popular languages, C is still a top programming language of instruction [1], [2].Even if the introductory courses are taught in other languages, many programs still provide coursesthat teach the languages, typically in systems programming courses or operating systemcourses [3]–[5].However, unlike Java or Python where there is a single authorative compiler, C programming issupported by many compilers, editors, and other tools. In addition, installing a C developmentenvironment has traditionally been challenging for Windows systems. As a result, some institutionsopt for installing the C development environment in a server and have the students

Computer simulations are based on computerprograms that incorporate a mathematical model of a system allowing the user to specify thevalues of one or more parameters and to examine the resulting values of those parameters11. Therandom variable simulation tools allow users to visualize the Probability Distribution Function(PDF) of random variables by setting their parameters such as seen in references [6-9]. Theseapplets are usually limited to graphical displays of PDFs and mostly serve as statisticalcalculators.We have identified two issues that contribute the most to

Through the data collected from the student survey, educators can gain insights into the specific areas where AI tools have positively impacted student learning. This information can guide curriculum development, ensuring that the incorporation of AI tools aligns with the desired learning outcomes. Furthermore, the student survey will provide vital feedback on areas where improvements are needed, allowing educators to address any challenges the students face in utilizing AI tools effectively.

percentage of students tend to copy from each other or from solution manuals onthe internet while solving homework assignments2. Ubiquitous internet access makes it possiblefor students to discover information and problem solutions that in the past would have beendifficult to find3. Regular homework assignments served as an excellent tool for the continuousevaluation of student performance before the internet was available to students. The onset of theinternet has made it possible for students to gain access to some of the most obscure sourcesonline, significantly enabling them to cheat on homework assignments and thereby making itextremely challenging for professors to ensure that they do their own work.
