A Breadth-First Approach for Teaching Computer Graphics

Abstract

Two themes of computer graphics, namely computer-generated color and computer-generated visualization, are introduced in a teaching/learning tool using a breadth-first approach. The breadth-first approach provides a holistic view of the topics to teach, aids in interdisciplinary teaching and is equally motivating to male and female students. The breadth-first approach has now been used for several years and we can also report on evaluations of the teaching/learning tool.
