“…These results emphasize the importance of context in the effectiveness of visualizations. In subsequent empirical work, computer-supported collaborative construction and critiquing of algorithm visualizations by students was also found to lead to superior learning [7].

A framework for producing dynamic data structure visualizations within the context of a lightweight IDE is described. Multiple synchronized visualizations of a data structure can be created with minimal coding through the use of an external viewer model. The framework supplies a customizable viewer template as well as high-level APIs to a graph drawing library and the Java Debugger Interface. Initial classroom use has demonstrated the framework's ease of use as well as its potential to as an aid to student learning.

“…The rating characteristic was changed and authors made anonymous in order to discourage convergence of representations, but a detailed discussion of this issue is beyond the scope of this paper. See [Hübscher-Younger & Narayanan, 2003b] for details. Sixty students in an introductory algorithm analysis course (this course is generally taken by juniors, and a few seniors and beginning graduate students) participated in this study.…”

Algorithm visualization research for computer science education has primarily focused on expert-created visualizations. However, constructionist and situated theories of learning suggest that students should develop and share their own diverse understandings of a concept for deep learning. This paper presents a novel approach to algorithm learning by visualization construction, sharing, and evaluation. Three empirical studies in which students engaged in these activities are discussed. The resulting learning benefits are quantified, and student visualizations are characterized in multiple ways. Then another study that investigated how specific characteristics of such visualizations influence learning is described. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of having students create algorithm visualizations, identifies characteristics of student-created algorithm visualizations and illuminates the learning benefits derived from these characteristics.
