The Jape Visualisation Project


 

This project is part of a research programme investigating the role of visualisation in software design. The current 18-month phase of the research is looking at the effectiveness of a particular tool - called Jape - in supporting the learning of formal reasoning. We are particularly interested in the cognitive processes at work when students work on proofs.

Jape has been written by Richard Bornat (of Middlesex University) and Bernard Sufrin (of the Oxford Computing Lab). The program enables students to construct, revise and test formal proofs.

The Jape website is at www.jape.org.uk
