Story
• Why ebooks (vs. MOOCs) for on-line CS
teacher learning
• Ed Psych Principles for ebooks
• Cognitive Load, Multimodality, Worked
Examples+Practice
• Demo of our ebook
• Usability of three ebooks
• Runestone, Zyante, CS Circles
• Do teachers learn from this?

Why Ebooks
• On-line is necessary to reach CS10K.
• Characteristics of potential CS teachers:
• Over-worked, little STEM background,
time in small chunks.
• MOOCs put lectures (time-based) on-line.
• Our teachers fit the demographic of
MOOC non-completers.
• Ebooks can fit into a teacher’s pace.

Ed Psych Principles
• Lower cognitive load
• Keep the germane. Lessen the extrinsic.
• Multimodality Principle.
• Use audio to increase comprehension of complex
visuals.
• Worked examples plus practice.
• Sweller showed that worked examples can be more
efficient for learning than more problem-solving.
• Trafton & Reiser showed interleaving examples +
practice was optimal.

Usability: Runestone & Zyante
• Teachers in our study preferred Runestone,
with Zyante next.

Where we’re going next…
• Automating the process of running the
study
• Open it up to any teacher anywhere
• Analyzing pilot data
• Pre-test => use (log file) => Post-test
• Adaptive Parson’s Problems
• Developing student ebook (IUSE)
• Working with Python-based CSP
Curriculum
• EarSketch in Gwinnett County
• Developing a standardized test (IUSE)
