These models identifyshared facets of CT such as troubleshooting or iterative refinement as universally important toCT, but differ in how they represent CT analytically, and what other practices are consideredcentral to their models.

Instruction is typically delivered in alaboratory setting using computer system simulators to provide students with a hands-onunderstanding of the topics covered in class. These simulators are frequently used to help studentsunderstand complex technologies that are difficult to conceptualize and visualize without the helpof graphical animations that modern simulators can provide. This hardware-focused course isoffered as a major requirement as part of the four-year undergraduate CS degree program.According

anencompassing approach that exposes children to computing principles in the context of theirlearning discipline [13]; [17]. As such, CT can be seen as a bridge that connects computerscience to multiple disciplines, including engineering [9]; [18].Computational thinking and engineering are defined as problem-solving processes [13]; [19]. CTis more than coding and/or programming, but rather a way of thinking when solving complexproblems across disciplines [13]. CT draws upon concepts fundamental to computer science,such as abstractions, algorithms, decomposition, logical thinking, and simulation. However, likeengineering, CT relies on mathematics as the foundational knowledge to manipulate abstractstructures using abstract methods [13]; [15]. Wing

Introducing TONTO in this way helps break downthe taboo that students may have towards using technology in composing music.More importantly, discussing Stevie Wonder’s appreciation for TONTO is an opportunity to helpstudents appreciate the foundations of computing itself. Malcolm Cecil recalled Stevie as saying “thisis much more like the music that is in my mind” when he first started experimenting with composingmusic with TONTO.29 The foundation of computing as a discipline is based on the study andmechanization of thought itself.

Some of these online textbookscontain learning questions, video media, animations, simulations, 3D tools, and other interactiveelements. The goal for these interactive elements is for students to engage through reading,answering questions, watching videos, stepping through animations, or otherwise participatingwith the interactive content. Despite the availability of such interactivity, student engagement isnot a guarantee. Due to time constraints and other pressures, students may opt for racing throughthe textbook or skipping the interactive elements entirely, rather than earnestly interacting
