Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation
The book is the textbook for the programming languages course at Brown University, which is taken primarily by third and fourth year undergraduates and beginning graduate (both MS and PhD) students. The text melds these two approaches. Concretely, students program with a new set of features first, then try to distill those principles into an actual interpreter
The Great Pyramid at Giza
The object of this problem is to estimate the number of people required to build the Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt. This pyramid is nearly 150 m tall* and 230 m wide at the base. The average block of stone used in building the pyramid has dimensions .66 m x 1.00 m x 1.50 m. These blocks were quarried at a site on the Giza Plateau that shall be taken to be about 5 km away although it may have been closer. The ancient Egyptians transported these blocks from the quarry to the pyramid on wooden sle

Ars magna lucis et umbrae
100 modern day ‘magic lanterns’ grouped in a series of narrative sequences and photographic tableaux are
distributed unevenly throughout the cavernous space of the former church. Two types of images are projected.
The first type are from the collection of images that Mark Ingham has been using for the past few years in his
research. These images will occupy the smaller rectangular space at the end of the church. The second type of
image will use photographs taken over recent months of th

Le rôle du scénario pédagogique dans l'analyse d'une formation à distance Analyse d'un scénario
Le scénario est un outil qui se révèle particulièrement utile lors de la conception d'une formation en ce sens qu'il offre l'opportunité de déterminer les activités d'apprentissage qui seront proposées et de définir leur articulation dans le dispositif (scénario d'apprentissage) mais également de décrire les actions qui seront menées par les différents acteurs, enseignants ou apprenants (scénario d'encadrement). Le scénario constitue à ce titre un élément sur lequel il peut Ã
Modèles de soutien à l'élaboration de scénarios
Les enseignants participant aux nombreux dispositifs d'enseignement à distance sont confrontés à la difficulté d'élaborer leurs activités d'apprentissage, sur support numérique, sous forme de scénarios pédagogiques. Dans cet article, nous proposons un dispositif de soutien à la tâche de conception de scénarios pédagogiques « analyse de documents » basé sur différents niveaux de modèles.,Preprint
A bootstrapping scenario for elicitating CSCL services within a GRID virtual community
Amongst the various eLearning techniques, Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) is of growing interest within the academic world. However, during the first phase of the EleGI project, a noticable fact has been the difficulty to match the user needs with the potentiality of the GRID services.
Thus, through a fictive scenario, this article proposes to walk the path between the idea of creating a new virtual community and the realisation of this objective. This scenario takes the situat

Systems Support for Collaborative Learning
One of the distinguishing features of novel network based learning environments is their capability to support group work and collaboration. TAGS, the Tutor and Groups Support Scheme, is an inter-disciplinary, inter-institutional project, which brings together software systems builders, subject-specialists and educational content developers. Collaborative Learning is central to the pedagogical goals of TAGS, and this has lead to the concept of groups being used as a fundamental organising princi
Kaleidoscope JEIRP on Learning Patterns for the Design and Deployment of Mathematical Games: Final R
Over the last few years have witnessed a growing recognition of the educational
potential of computer games. However, it is generally agreed that the process of
designing and deploying TEL resources generally and games for mathematical
learning specifically is a difficult task. The Kaleidoscope project, "Learning patterns
for the design and deployment of mathematical games", aims to investigate this
problem. We work from the premise that designing and deploying games for
mathematical learning re
