Abstract

In this paper we present the CoEDApplets tool, a web application intended to facilitate the teaching/learning of programming and algorithmics in engineering. Like its predecessor, EDApplets, it is based on Java Applets technology and is animation and display oriented through the use of data structure and algorithm traces. In contrast to the static nature of its predecessor, CoEDApplets is presented as a cooperative portal in which different educational professionals can dynamically incorporate Applets that pursue the same objective. The portal also provides for the internationalization of the Applets, also dynamically. Collaborators will be able to contribute not only with code, but also their translations into various languages, thus helping the collaborative process to transcend beyond borders and into countries where a different language is spoken. CoEDApplets thus introduces elements aimed at supporting diversity within the new teaching framework of the European Higher Education Area, which is expected to create a highly mobile student body.
