Laakso, Mikko-Jussi; Myller, Niko; Korhonen, Ari – Educational Technology & Society, 2009
In this paper, two emerging learning and teaching methods have been studied: collaboration in concert with algorithm visualization. When visualizations have been employed in collaborative learning, collaboration introduces new challenges for the visualization tools. In addition, new theories are needed to guide the development and research of the…

Nevalainen, Seppo; Sajaniemi, Jorma – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2008
When visualization tools utilized in computer programming education have been evaluated empirically, the results have remained controversial. To address this problem, we have developed a model of short-term effects of program animation, and used it in a series of experiments. In the current experiment, we varied visual representation of an…
