Algorithms education via animation videos

Project: Research

Project Details

Description

Lectures on algorithms traditionally consist of blackboard/slide talks and reading material. This mode however need not be optimal for all students: Several highly popular YouTube channels for mathematics and other scientific content (e.g., 3blue1brown, Numberphile, Veritasium) with millions of views indicate that learners may respond very positively to professionally produced educational videos. This project aims at creating and evaluating an initial library of such videos to supplement teaching in algorithms.
