• Objective:
  • Enhance learning of computer programming through
    a “studio-based” approach in which students construct and present personalized visualizations of algorithms under study g y
• Technologies:
  • ALVIS, a novice algorithm development and visualization environment that enables learners to write computer programs by laying out, and directly manipulating graphical program objects
• Uniqueness:
  • In an experimental study, ALVIS has been shown to PROMOTE NOT ONLY significantly faster and more accurate programming than a text-based programming environment, but also positive transfer of training to textual programming
