Abstract

Educators have long been trying to spice things up in their introductory programming courses. Traditionally, two-dimensional arrays have been taught non-graphically using contrived examples and the command-line - which is often not motivating to students. We believe (as does supporting literature) that the inherently visual nature of a more media-oriented approach to teaching arrays, such as teaching using Image Processing, is more effective and more engaging for students. This teaching style can be extended to include real-time video filters, opening up a unique set of time-sensitive algorithms and making the traditional image processing transformations highly interactive.
