An approach in which students become teachers by using algorithm visualization technology not only to construct their own visualizations, but also to present those visualizations to their instructor and peers for feedback and discussion will be studied within the context of a third-year, undergraduate computer science course on computer algorithms. This approach will be used to develop a studio-based algorithms course in which the construction and discussion of visualizations are the central activities of the course. Specifically, students will use algorithm visualization technology to construct their own visual solutions to algorithm design and analysis problems. In a variety of regularly scheduled review sessions, they will present their solutions to instructors and peers for feedback, discussion, and evaluation. This research will yield several products and outcomes from which science educators, educational researchers, visualization technologists, and cognitive anthropologists stand to benefit.

将在三年级本科生计算机科学计算机算法课程的背景下研究一种方法，即学生通过使用算法可视化技术成为教师，不仅可以构建自己的可视化，而且还可以将这些可视化呈现给教师和同学以获取反馈和讨论。 这种方法将用于开发基于工作室的算法课程，其中可视化的构建和讨论是课程的中心活动。 具体来说，学生将使用算法可视化技术构建自己的算法设计和分析问题的可视化解决方案。在各种定期安排的复习会议中，他们将向教师和同行展示他们的解决方案，以供反馈、讨论和评估。 这项研究将产生多种产品和成果，科学教育者、教育研究人员、可视化技术专家和认知人类学家将从中受益。
