We present findings regarding the state of the field of Algorithm Visualization (AV) based on
our analysis of a collection of over 500 AVs. We examine how AVs are distributed among …

This work analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of using the novice programming
environment Alice in the CS0 classroom. We consider both general aspects as well as …

Computer science core instruction attempts to provide a detailed understanding of dynamic

This article explores the major design characteristics (both pedagogic as well as technical)
that helped to shape Alice 2. It identifies several strengths of Alice as well as several …

The area of program comprehension comprises a vast body of literature, with numerous
conflicting models having been proposed. Models are typically grounded in experimental …

In this paper, we introduce an hybrid time-frequency/support vector machine algorithm for
the detection of abrupt spectral changes. A stationarity index is derived from support vector …

Many pieces of educational software are underused by students. Open learning model and
social visualization are two approaches which have been helpful in ameliorating that low …

Program visualization is one of the various methods developed over the years to aid novices
with their difficulties in learning to program. It consists of different graphical–often animated …

This article provides a survey of methods and paradigms for teaching Computer Networks
(CN). Since the theoretical concepts are rather abstract in this subject, and students often …
