Abstract

In addition to a richer learning experience integrating text and multimedia such as audio commentary with slides and visualizations of key algorithms and concepts - hypertextbooks for computer science courses can provide immediate feedback to the reader. Due to the explosion of data and information in the Internet age, data mining is becoming a core area in the undergraduate computer science curriculum. In this paper, we discuss our experience in designing, teaching, and improving an undergraduate data mining course by designing and implementing a hypertextbook for the key concepts in the course. Course evaluations conducted show the effectiveness of our approach.
