CSE 143 Tutored Video Pilot Project, Autumn 1998 Click here for lecture file downloads and here for the full scoop on TVI.

The University of Washington's Department of Computer Science & Engineering, in collaboration with North Seattle Community College, is exploring a new approach to introductory computer science education.

Our experiment addresses two issues. The first is the extraordinary labor involved in preparing materials for intensive courses such as UW's CSE 142 and CSE 143 -- generically, "CS 1" and "CS 2." Can we achieve economies? The second is articulation: can we make our courses more comparable, to facilitate transfer and to improve the foundation of all students?

Lecture Files

These zip files contain a high quality video of the classroom lecture, GIFs of the slides for presentation, and a PowerPoint document containing the original slides. To view a lecture, download the file, decompress it using WinZip or another zip utility, and double click on the file named launcher.html. This is a JavaScript application which integrates the video and lecture slides in one browser window. To use the application successfully, you will need IE 4 or later, and at least version 6 of the Microsoft Windows Media Player. If the application does not work with your browser, run LectureNN.asf (where NN represents the lecture number) from the Files directory.

Warning: these files are large! (60-100 MB) It is not recommended that you try to download them if you are accessing the Internet via a modem. We are using this format in order to obtain high audio and video quality.
