An interactive lab environment for computing concepts and courseware

This paper describes a new system which is being designed and implemented by senior and graduate Computer Science students, under faculty supervision, to help younger CS students understand and visualize the new computing concepts with which they are in constant struggle. Broadly speaking, the system is to achieve two major goals at the same time : first to provide senior CS students and fresh graduates with the opportunity to develop educational software for junior fellow students in their major using new technology; and second to make the junior ones (freshmen and sophomore levels) experience the new revolution in education of which they will soon become a part while they learn new concepts in their discipline.
