Online Materials for COMP 110

The COMP 110: Introduction to Programming and Algorithms course redesign involves the gathering and development of online web-based study materials for use by students to review fundamental programming concepts. Additionally, it involves the usage of the YouSpeak mobile and web-based classroom participation tool in class. YouSpeak provides students with an alternative/additional channel to participate in class. The software, developed at CSUN, allows students who may (on occasion or consistently) be too shy to speak out load an alternative. Students can ask questions or make comments by writing out their questions through the YouSpeak system on their smart phones or laptops. The questions then appear projected on the screen alongside the lecture material for all to see.
