This article is a review of the pedagogical experience obtained with systems for algorithmic
animation. Algorithms consist of a sequence of operations whose effect on data structures …

Each time a speaker has to introduce and to explain an algorithm to an audience, he
naturally translates into a visual form his mental image of the algorithm itself. Pressley …

Existing algorithm animation systems typically have been designed without formal study of
related teaching practices. We believe that this has contributed to low adoption rates of …

Algorithm animation is but one of many attempts to use technology to improve learning. After
early development and implementation, there are now powerful, easy-to-use animation …

The research question of this thesis is: How can we develop algorithm animations (AA) and
AA systems further to better facilitate the creation and adoption of AA in education? The …

This paper deals with techniques for the design and production of appealing algorithmic
animations and their use in computer science education. A good visual animation is both a …

The use of algorithm visualizations in computer science education is not a new thing.
Although there is a firm belief that graphical representations of algorithms are learning aids …

Algorithm animation has received much interest over the last few years. In this paper, we
discuss the experiences gained in integrating animations into introductory computer science …

Visualization is a useful aid for understanding the working of algorithms. Therefore many
interactive algorithm animation tools have been developed. However, students may …

The second research question is, how can we enable data exchange between algorithm
animation systems. To answer this, we specify a taxonomy of algorithm animation languages …
