  abstract =     "Learning computing with respect to the context of its
                 use has been linked in previous reports to student
                 motivation in introductory Computer Science (CS)
                 courses. In this report, we consider the role of
                 context in a second course. We present a case study of
                 a CS2 data structures class that uses a media
                 computation context. In this course, students learn
                 data structures and object-oriented (OO) programming
                 through a pervasive narrative about how real media
                 professionals use data structures to model the real
                 world and to construct the digital images, sounds, and
                 animations with which the students are familiar in
                 their daily lives. We found that context played a
                 different role in a second course than in a first
                 course. We found evidence that some students did not
                 need context to appreciate computing, but we also found
                 evidence that context can help students get engaged
                 with the material that they otherwise do not find
                 interesting. In particular, the narrative aspect of a
                 context may help students in relating the elements of
                 the course and may even help with learning.",
