In my research, I leverage theories of cognition, communication, and learning to answer these questions. Specifically, I have been interested in (1) how we can help people think, communicate, learn, and interact at multiple levels of abstraction and (2) how we can represent and scaffold complex information and knowledge using (visual) narratives... Recent work demonstrated how we can design and use coding strips, a form of comic strips with corresponding code, to enhance teaching and learning in programming. However, creating coding strips is a creative, time-consuming process. Creators have to generate stories from code (code->story) and design comics from stories (story->comic). We contribute CodeToon, a comic authoring tool that facilitates this code-driven storytelling process with two mechanisms: (1) story ideation from code using metaphor and (2) automatic comic generation from the story. We conducted a two-part user study that evaluates the tool and the comics generated by..
