ABSTRACT
eL-CID (e-Learning to Communicate Iterative Development) demonstrates computer programs' iterative design using computer animation. It translates descriptions of iterative editing into a dynamic visualisation of the changes, as if code was being edited in front of the user. A range of animations has been developed and the system evaluated through action research. The evaluation shows that it is particulary useful as a reflective tool, revealing the problem solving inherent to development.
