ThinkInk - An Intelligent Sketch Tool for Learning Data Structures
Paper No.: LBW088, Pages 1 - 6
Abstract
ThinkInk is an intelligent sketch-based tutoring tool for learning data structures. Our initial evaluation with 45 students shows that they find the tool engaging, fun and a good learning experience. This paper focuses on the interaction design and software engineering required to build such a tool.
