Abstarct: ClipIt is an online social learning platform focused on reflective learning using videos created by students. ClipIt does not follow a fixed methodology, nor is classroom based or teacher-led. Instead it responds to the online distance education paradigm, promoting both social and collaborative interaction and inducing to follow activity steps with subtle guidance which allows for maximum flexibility for the teacher. This paper presents the ClipIt platform and supporting a student-driven reflective learning process, specially focusing on social and collaborative interaction.

Abstract: This position paper is framed within JuxtaLearn project. We present our approach on active social learning that relies on supporting reflective video based activities. We summarize ClipIt, a social learning platform that stimulates student-to-student interactions using an online web-based platform where learners reflect on videos and related material (storyboards, comments, ratings…) posted by other students. This paper summarises ClipIt’s design goals, our current achievements and future challenges that have not been accomplished yet, and are open to discussion.

Abstract. A novel approach to algorithm animation consists in displaying algorithms based on their design technique. In this paper, we describe a framework to generate these animations without effort from the instructor. We describe a preprocessing phase that modifies the source code of the algorithm to visualize. When the transformed code is executed, a trace is stored and then used to generate an animation. We also describe the architecture of the animation subsystem. Finally, we outline the main features of SRec, a system that we have built to illustrate the feasibility of this approach. It is aimed at visualizing multiple views of recursion, namely traces, the control stack and activation trees.
