Reaction for: "OMT Explainer" by Jon

Go Neil!!!

This is the sort of interactive teaching aide that I think could be useful to many people. I like the idea of having options to get more information or explanation about a diagram if you want it, but only if you want it. Having too much in the way of explanation often causes clutter and confusion, but making it available on request would be much more useful.

It is also an interesting question to ask how early students should be introduced to software design tools such as these. Currently, they are presented in CS32, and any design before that is done by hand. Perhaps making this sort of tool available to students earlier would be useful to them, especially if a helper like this was available with it. Of course, it is possible that throwing yet one more thing at students for them to learn could just be confusing.
