Here are multimedia course training materialswith animations to help you learn key Computer Science topics. The eight learning modules are: Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence, Data Structures, Machine Architecture, Number Systems, Operating Systems, Programming Languages, and Software Engineering. Each module consists of a set of lessons with animations and interactive components including review questions. The work consists of 44 animations, 2,008 files, and 255 folders, totaling 15.5MB. The animations and interactive components are expected to improve the effectiveness of learning the covered topics. Each module consists of a set of lessons and review questions which test the important concepts from the lesson and provide practice problems, along with embedded interactive components implemented as Flash animations or Java applets.
