In this course we use web 2.0 technologies, CS3 tools, video and sound editing tools, etc. to create multimedia and interactive contents for communication.At the end of a semester, I find helping student review the learning outcomes of the course beneficial because it would enhance their efficacy on the course materials. Since the course topic is on technologies and we would do projects using different software and media, I prepared a multimedia animated movie that captured the highlights of the course as a video podcast, that happens to be one of their project outcomes.I learned that this movie also helps potential students during add/drop or course registration. the movie resides currently in my teaching website: http://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/mfang/, under the topic of Learning Outcomes. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=313357 Jeliot 3 is a Program Visualization application. It visualizes how a Java program is interpreted. Method calls, variables, operation are displayed on a screen as the animation goes on, allowing the student to follow step by step the execution of a program. Programs can be created from scratch or they can be modifyed from previously stored code examples. The Java program being animated does not need any kind of additional calls, all the visualization is automatically generated. Jeliot 3 understands most of the Java constructs and it is able to animate them. Especial effort is currenlty being addressed to animate object oriented features, such as inheritance. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=302089 This web site is dedicated to simple video-related software that lets computer users do several useful things with videos.
