DO YOU TEACH COMPUTER GRAPHICS?
DO YOU NEED HELP?
Announcement of Computer Graphics Teaching Aids Meeting
and Interactive CD demo.
Please read on!
A working group is collecting materials to help people teach computer
graphics. The aim is to create a common base of high-quality support
materials for the use of computer graphics teachers. The types of support
materials include
o Viewgraphs (OHPs)
o 35mm slides
o Videos
o Films
o Printed notes
o Software for graphics programming (e.g. mini-GKS)
o Interactive courseware
and cover such topics as
o Graphics algorithms, e.g. Bresenham, area fill, clipping
o 3-D transformations and viewing
o Hidden surface removal
o Illumination models
o User interface design
o Graphics standards
A one-day meeting will be help on Thursday 28 September at Middlesex
Polytechnic, Bounds Green, London, at which there will be
- demonstrations of materials currently used by CG teachers (NB
please bring along examples of your own materials)
- a demonstration by PHILIPS of their new CDI (interactive compact
disc) system (one of the issues which the group is examining is
the feasibility of CDI as a medium for interactive courseware and
on-line lecturing aids for CG)
