Key Decisions in Adopting Algorithm Animation for Teaching
نویسنده
چکیده
Algorithm Animation is becoming increasingly popular with several educators. However, certain key questions have to be addressed before an informed decision on a given system can be made. This paper tries to identify several such questions and provide a brief overview of some algorithm animation systems. The key decisions are grouped in four entries: system type and animation generation approach, display properties, import and export facilities, and didactical requirements. After considering these requirements, deciding on a given system should be easier for educators.

Developing EFL Learners' Oral Proficiency through Animation-based Instruction of English Formulaic Sequences
The current pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study attempts, firstly, to probe the effects of teaching formulaic sequences (FSs) on the second or foreign language (L2) learners' oral proficiency improvement and secondly, to examine whether teaching FSs through different resources (i.e. animation vs. text-based readings) have any differentially influential effects in augmenting L2 l...

Introduction: A disaster evacuation program is one of the most important parts of hospital crisis management. The following study was carried out to determine the effects of animation-based teaching on hemodialysis patients’ performance in an emergency evacuation. Material and Method: In this quasi-experimental study, two out of four AJA Hospitals in Tehran that had hemodialysis wards, were sel...
متن کاملUsing Animations to Learn about Algorithms: An Ethnographic Case Study
A number of studies have found that using animation for explaining dynamic systems had less bene cial e ects on learning than hoped. Those results come as a surprise to many instructors and students in computer science where animation is becoming an increasingly popular tool for teaching algorithms. This study takes an ethnomethodological approach, observing students using animations and other ...
متن کاملAlgorithm Animation for Teaching
We give an overview of rules and techniques to create a good algorithm animation, with emphasis on animations that would be used when teaching algorithms. In this context, we propose that animations should in particular emphasize the visualization of correctness invariants and the complexity of the algorithms. This implies that writing a good animation must be more than just showing the graphic...
متن کاملGraph Algorithm Animation with Grrr
We discuss geometric positioning, highlighting of visited nodes and user defined highlighting that form the algorithm animation facilities in the Grrr graph rewriting programming language. The main purpose of animation was initially for the debugging and profiling of Grrr code, but recently it has been extended for the purpose of teaching algorithms to undergraduate students. The animation is r...
