Abstract: We present several animation tools that we have used in the classroom to help reinforce some fundamental concepts of computer architecture, computer programming, and computer networking. When presenting such concepts to undergraduate students, the concept of concurrency has been particularly difficult to explain and demonstrate. When two more things are happening at the same time, student often struggle to grasp what this actually means. Additionally, when teaching introductory programming classes, we believe it is important for students to understand how their program is converted into a larger number of simpler steps resulting in assembly language or machine code instructions. Attempts to show these concepts using traditional chalkboard methods or static viewgraphs have not worked well. To help present these concepts in a more understandable way, we have created several computer animations that we have shown to students in the classroom to illustrate visually these fundamental conc epts. Further, our animation programs can create movie output files that students can download and view as often as desired. (More)
