Training in Programming using Innovative Means

Abstract

Abstract Training in programming, related to studying algorithms, is challenging for the lecturers. The aim of this paper is to offer options about how to use innovative means in programming by presenting their specifics and to suggest how to limit some of the disadvantages. During synchronous learning, whether conducted in a computer room or online in a virtual classroom, the three standard ways of presenting algorithms can be applied as creating a flowchart for a specific algorithm with Flowgorithm is presented dynamically rather than as a static image, as on the site. With the introduction of Accumulative frame models in programming training, it can be described verbally through a list of invariant frames, which is recommended to be used in the study of algorithms that consist of more than one basic algorithms. This is a fourth way of presenting algorithms, which can be in the form of a table.
