A system for algorithms' animation
Donatella Merlini, Simone Petruzzi, Rachele Sprugnoli, M. Cecilia Verri · 2003
We present the prototype of an algorithm animation system, seen as a tool for teaching basic algorithms in Computer Science. An important property of our system is the active role played by the student: he/she is allowed to interact with an algorithm in order to understand its behaviour (he/she can stop it, backtrack and rerun it) and can perform exercises, proposed at random, to gain the necessary skill to reproduce the algorithm.
