Computer Science (31) This project involves the running of a workshop whose goal is to continue work on developing a community of users and developers of algorithm and data structure visualizations (AVs). Successful use of AVs depends on both the availability of quality educational materials and their proper deployment. The field of AV has progressed little from the mid 1990s in terms of adoption levels or total educational impact. Many developers are not making use of lessons learned. Since effective ways of developing and deploying AVs are known, these difficulties can be overcome by a cohesive community of AV developers and users. The goal of this project is to continue to build this community. This community helps to guide creation of an integrated collection of resources and infrastructure to serve as a communications hub and information clearing house. These resources leverage the progress already made by AV developers and users to bring about wider adoption and greater successful impact in the classroom. The intellectual merit is the improvement of the computer science education community's understanding of how AVs can be made pedagogically effective. The broader impact is improving on the general availability and quality of AVs, which can affect the educational outcomes for many students every year in computer science and related disciplines. Providing a community resource on best practices improves the development of future AVs. A clearing house of available AVs and documenting best practices for their use provides quality educational materials to instructors.

计算机科学（31）这个项目涉及一个研讨会的运行，其目标是继续发展一个社区的用户和算法和数据结构可视化（AV）的开发人员的工作。成功使用自动驾驶汽车取决于优质教育材料的可用性及其适当的部署。从20世纪90年代中期以来，AV领域在采用水平或总教育影响方面进展甚微。许多开发人员没有利用所学到的经验教训。由于开发和部署AV的有效方法是已知的，这些困难可以通过AV开发人员和用户的凝聚力社区来克服。这个项目的目标是继续建设这个社区。这一社区帮助指导建立一个综合资源库和基础设施，作为通信枢纽和信息交换所。这些资源利用AV开发人员和用户已经取得的进展，在课堂上带来更广泛的采用和更大的成功影响。智力价值是提高计算机科学教育界对如何使AV在教学上有效的理解。更广泛的影响是提高了自动驾驶汽车的普遍可用性和质量，这可能会影响计算机科学和相关学科每年许多学生的教育成果。提供有关最佳实践的社区资源可以改善未来AV的开发。一个现有AV的信息交换所，并记录使用AV的最佳做法，为教员提供高质量的教育材料。
