We describe a set of 15 interactive animations developed for college freshmen taking a computer science orientation course. The purpose of using the interactive animations is to improve students’ understanding of conceptual and procedural knowledge fundamental to the field of computer science. The animations have been implemented as Java applets. We explain how introducing applet-enabled activities into lectures has affected the classroom experience. We present evidence that the use of these animations has significantly improved the performance of students on exam questions.
