Item The New CGEMS - Preparing the Computer Graphics Educational Materials Source to Meet the Needs of Educators(The Eurographics Association, 2017) Anderson, Eike Falk; Duchowski, Andrew; Liarokapis, Fotis; Redford, Adam; Jean-Jacques Bourdin and Amit SheshACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics are restarting CGEMS, the Computer Graphics Educational Materials Source, an on-line repository of curricular material for computer graphics education. In this context, the question that we ask ourselves is: ''How can CGEMS best meet the needs of educators''? The aim of this forum is to provide the audience with an idea of the purpose of CGEMS - a source of educational materials for educators by educators - and to give them an opportunity to contribute their views and ideas towards shaping the new CGEMS. Towards this purpose, we have identified a number of issues to resolve, which the panel will put forward to the participants of the forum for discussion.Item Using Activity Led Learning for Teaching Computer Graphics Principles Through Augmented Reality(The Eurographics Association, 2017) Liarokapis, Fotis; Jean-Jacques Bourdin and Amit SheshIn this paper, an activity-led learning approach is applied to computer graphics students at Masaryk University for the Master's course called "Augmented Reality Interfaces". The scope of this research is to demonstrate the learning effectiveness of augmented reality and project development approaches for higher education teaching. Students were presented with the theoretical background in augmented reality in the classical way (lectures) and were asked to implement the assignment using active learning approaches. The aim of the assignment was to design and implement an augmented reality interface demonstrating various computer graphics aspects which could be used to enhance the teaching process. Their main focus was to concentrate on three aspects: interface design, interaction mediums and collaboration aspects. Data was collected for two consecutive academic years (one semester with 13 weeks per year) and results showed a very high pass-rate as well as increased engagement and student satisfaction. However, students found that this sort of approach is harder than other approaches.
