  3. Cheating teaching Teaching cheating Contents(unordered incomplete list) • Vegetables • Segregation • Exhibitionism • Mythology • TeaCHing EuroLogo 2007 Bratislava August 19-24 2007

  4. Challenges • Logo courses at Sofia University • 2005 – switching to new Logo • Pedagogical challenges • Cover wider range of students • Cover wider range ot topics • Suitable for Bachelor’s & Master’s • Attended by students from Informatics, Math, Applied Math, Mechanics, Math&Inf EuroLogo 2007 Bratislava August 19-24 2007

  5. More Challenges • Development challenges • Complete redesign of the course • Changing all teaching materials (software, tools, practices) • Psychological challenges • Finding charm in Computer Graphics • Maintaining wowness EuroLogo 2007 Bratislava August 19-24 2007

  6. Introduction Core section Advanced section Course Structure • Duration 15 weeks • 30 lectures + 30/45/60 lab classes • Golden section • Flexible structure layout • Accustomed to students’ skills • Accustomed to students’ speciality EuroLogo 2007 Bratislava August 19-24 2007

  7. Course Sections • Introduction • Compuer graphics and vegetables • Course goals: cheating; building blocks • Learning Logo and OOP • Core section • Computer graphics • Non-turtle and Turtle graphics • Advanced section • Advanced algorithms • Custom topics EuroLogo 2007 Bratislava August 19-24 2007

  8. Class Structure • Similar layout to the course structure • Golden ratio: intro, core and advanced • Dynamically adjusted • Progressive examples from theory to art • Examples available online • Interactive communication EuroLogo 2007 Bratislava August 19-24 2007

  9. Real-time Programming • Programs written on-the-fly • Software exhibitionism • Risk of bugs – pogrammer’s nightmare, daymare and softmare • Resolving bugs in real-time • Public debugging • Benefiting from bugs • Mastering the art of debu… oops… thinking • Gathering new ideas EuroLogo 2007 Bratislava August 19-24 2007

  10. Multidisciplinarity andKnowledge Segregation • Main ideas • No boundary strip between subjects (sciences) • Reusing facts, knowledge and ideas • Demonstration of applicability of CG • Implementation • New contexts for known things • Multiple multidisciplinarity within a single class EuroLogo 2007 Bratislava August 19-24 2007

  11. Introduction Core section Advanced section Class examples Points Bouncing balls Relative transformationalgraphics + Turtle graphics EuroLogo 2007 Bratislava August 19-24 2007

  12. Points • Week 4 • First introduction to Computer Graphics • Points and segments, 3D space, colours • Multiple Multidisciplinarity • Computer science: loops, conditional execution, counters • Analytics: function composition • Analytical Geometry: Cartesian and polar coordinates, equations for cubes and spheres, volumes • Applied Statistics and Probability • Biology: visual perception • Psycology EuroLogo 2007 Bratislava August 19-24 2007

  14. Bouncing Balls • Week 6 • Animation of several objects • Blending simple movements into one complex • Multiple Multidisciplinarity • Computer Science: parallelism, synchronisation • Calculus: function approximation • Geometry: solids, path in space • Physics: rotation, bouncing, friction, gravity • Trigonometrics: application of (co)sine EuroLogo 2007 Bratislava August 19-24 2007

  15. Bouncing Balls Problem Create the following animation: • Two balls • Bounce up and down (unsynchronized) • Cast shadows on a platform • Two shadows • Shadows fade while balls go up • Shadows decrease while balls go up • Platform • Rotates clockwise-counterclockwise with smooth change of directions • Starts vibrating after being hit by a ball (any ball) • View-point • Makes circular movements around the objects • Moves up-down in a wavy manner EuroLogo 2007 Bratislava August 19-24 2007

  16. Using Sine and Cosine • (Co)sine heavily used for movements • Bouncing is • Platform rotation is • Platform vibration is • View-point circular rotation is • Hit triggers are Bouncing balls Example from another lesson EuroLogo 2007 Bratislava August 19-24 2007

  17. Relative Geometry/Turtle Graphics • Flexible coordinate system • Nested 3D worlds EuroLogo 2007 Bratislava August 19-24 2007
