“…To the interaction between teachers and PV content, some existing systems have functions that design PVs using a GUI. Based on the WYSIWYG AV editor implementation, Karavirta et al (2002) evaluated the effortlessness of the existing AV systems. Using TEDViT, Tezuka et al ( 2016) developed a GUI system that visually defines the positions and attributes of drawn objects to reduce the cost of defining the drawing rules.…”

Several program visualization (PV) systems have been developed to support novice learners in understanding program behavior since last couple of decades. However, only a few have been introduced or continuously used in actual classes. One of the main obstacles to using PV systems in actual classrooms is the significant amount of time needed to integrate them into actual educational settings. We developed a PV system called Teacher’s Explaining Design Visualization Tool (TEDViT) and introduced it into several practical applications. Although programming learning with TEDViT had a noticeable effect, the time required for PV customization (i.e., the time consumed for interactions between teachers and PV content) was a non-trivial problem. In this study, we describe three approaches to reduce the time cost of customizing by teachers; that is, we supported PV creation by (1) semi-automatically arranging drawing objects oriented toward novice learners, (2) allowing menu operations with a dialog interface, and (3) providing visual information and visual operations using a WYSIWYG PV editor. We developed three individual systems based on each approach and evaluated their effortlessness by measuring the time required for actual PV creation. The evaluation results suggest that each of the three approaches has a certain effect on improving the effortlessness of PV creation. This study describes our three approaches and the system developed based on them and discusses the possibility of integrating them.

“…Users come to interact with products and services through a combination of personal volition and environmental factors. However, many technologies are designed to support active rather than passive users (Fischer and Benford 2009;Karavirta and Korhonen 2006;Webster and Ho 1997) and engagement "both in the moment and over time" (Lamberty 2004). For certain combinations of systems and users, long-term engagement can develop of its own accord, where the psychological needs of users are met, meaning and value are provided, and the burden on users is low.…”

“…The ITiCSE Engagement Taxonomy characterizes engagement as a 'type' or 'depth' of interaction, defining six forms; No Viewing, Viewing, Responding, Changing, Constructing, and Presenting (Naps et al 2002). This taxonomy has been applied in a number of design scenarios (Karavirta and Korhonen 2006;Urquiza-Fuentes and Velázquez-Iturbide 2012) and attempts made to extend it (Myller et al 2009).…”

Engaging users is a priority for designers of products and services of every kind. The need to understand users' experiences has motivated a focus on user engagement across computer science. However, to date, there has been limited review of how Human-Computer Interaction and computer science research interprets and employs the concept. Questions persist concerning its conception, abstraction, and measurement. This article presents a systematic review of engagement spanning a corpus of 351 articles and 102 definitions. We map the current state of engagement research, including the diverse interpretation, theory, and measurement of the concept. We describe the ecology of engagement and strategies for the design of engaging experiences, discuss the value of the concept and its relationship to other terms, and present a set of guidelines and opportunities for future research.

This paper presents JAVENGA, which is an acronym for JAva-based Visualization Environment for Network and Graph Algorithms. It is a new visualization software for educational purposes. It includes visualizations of many well-known graph and network algorithms. However, besides simple algorithms the tool also illustrates a visualization of a quite complex one, such as the Network Simplex algorithm. The recommended tool includes a graph editor where directed and undirected graphs can be drawn, it allows users to give input to an algorithm and then see its visualization in a user-controlled way, and finally it incorporates a solution window where one can see the values of variables at each step of algorithm execution. JAVENGA, as its name states, has been implemented in Java language and it can be run either as an applet or as a Java application. Further, one can execute the program either locally or remotely via the Web. It can be used by instructors as auxiliary teaching material in the context of a graph theory or network optimization course. Besides, instructors can use the tool to grade students' assignments or exams. Students can also use the software in a self-learning approach. ß
