The Anatomy of an Object Oriented Visualization System for Algorithm Design

The components of an object-oriented visualization system for algorithm design and algorithm learning are described. This system, called ALGO, provides an environment in which both instruction and the design of algorithm can be conducted. It combines intelligent tutoring techniques, hypermedia linking tools to a computer-aided instruction library, facilities for assessing understanding of complex concepts via goal-directed dialogue aids, simulation packages and algorithm animation, and algorithm design through analogies and constraint satisfaction.
