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.

Abstract

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.
