Usability Testing for OOP Visual: A 3D Interactive Programming Learning Tool

Abstract

The paper presents the design and implementation of 3D interactive software to help university students understand and visualize Object Oriented Programming- and specifically the polymorphism concept- in an effective way, using animation, visual, sounds, and interactivity. The proposed solution consists of an animated environment with an editor that allows drag and drop methods.It will be demonstrated that the developed software can assist students in understanding programming without dealing with syntax errors and complex design techniques, and can allow them to focus on programming concepts rather than the tedium of debugging code.
