The VJ-Lab is a Web application with Java based simulations. Java can be used to provide simulation environments with simple pictorial interfaces that can help students to understand the subject. There are many fields in which it is difficult to give students a feel for the subject that they are learning. Computer based simulations offer a fun and effective way to enable students to learn by doing. Both, practicing skills and applying knowledge are both allowed in simulated worlds. We will focus on the VJ-Lab project overview, the work in progress and some Java based simulations running. They imitate the behavior of data network protocol and data structure algorithms. These applets are produced by the students of the 'Software Development Laboratory' course.Comment: 3 pages, WebNet 2000 (World Conference on the WWW and Internet) - AACE (Association for the Advancement of Computing Education Topics: Computer Science - Other Computer Science, H.5.1 Year: 2000 OAI identifier: oai:arXiv.org:cs/0012016 Provided by: arXiv.org e-Print Archive Downloaded from http://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0012016 To submit an update or takedown request for this paper, please submit an Update/Correction/Removal Request.
