Abstract

CS undergraduate research in a cooperative development effort is described. Significant experience in current technology was gained by creating an instructional unit. CS students directly applied research skills, and measured learning effectiveness in a controlled study. The work includes research, application, evaluation, model for future work, and presentation. It also provided a learning aid for general students, an interactive tutorial on elementary gate-level logic. JavaScript and HTML were used to rapidly develop this prototype. It was student-tested by student researchers, and served several objectives in a computer science course. Data on student performance was collected and analyzed. Positive results were obtained, indicating a model for further development.
