Alok Ranjan's List: algorithm

There are two JPEG compression algorithms: the oldest one is simply referred to as ‘JPEG’ within this page. The newer JPEG 2000 algorithm is discussed on a separate page. Please note that you have to make a distinction between the JPEG compression algorithm, which is discussed on this page, and the corresponding JFIF file format, which many people refer to as JPEG files and which is discussed in the file format section.

CoLab is a collaborative tool for peer review of software programs for providing constructive feedback to first-time programmers. It targets two kinds of users: a trainer (who is the facilitator) and a trainee (whose programming skills have to be assessed and, if needed, improved). The tool provides real-time information on the reviewing ability of and common mistakes made by the programmers. As a result, it allows trainees to develop their programming skills without much assistance or intervention from the trainer. This article describes the design of CoLab and how it can be used as a tool for learning software programming in large classrooms.
