Steering Committee Workshop to Build a Community for Algorithm Visualization

计算机科学（31）本项目包括举办一个研讨会，其目标是建立一个指导委员会，指导基于互联网的资源的开发，以支持算法和数据结构可视化（av）的用户和开发人员的发展社区。自动驾驶汽车的成功使用取决于高质量教育材料的可用性和它们的正确部署。自20世纪90年代中期以来，AV领域在采用水平或总体教育影响方面进展甚微。许多开发人员没有吸取经验教训。由于开发和部署自动驾驶汽车的有效方法是已知的，这些困难可以通过一个由自动驾驶汽车开发者和用户组成的有凝聚力的社区来克服。这个项目的目标是建立这个社区。建立这一社区的第一步是建立一个由该领域活跃成员组成的指导委员会，以帮助指导创建一个综合资源和基础设施集合，作为通信中心和信息交换中心。这些资源利用了AV开发者和用户已经取得的进展，使其在课堂上得到更广泛的采用和更大的成功影响。智力上的优点是提高了计算机科学教育界对如何使自动驾驶汽车在教学上有效的理解。更广泛的影响是提高自动驾驶汽车的总体可用性和质量，这可能会影响每年许多计算机科学和相关学科学生的教育成果。提供关于最佳实践的社区资源可以改善未来自动驾驶汽车的开发。一个可用自动驾驶汽车的信息交换所，并记录其使用的最佳做法，为教师提供了高质量的教育材料。

Computer Science (31)This project involves the running of a workshop whose goal is to establish a steering committee that will guide the development of internet-based resources to support a developing 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 build this community. The first step to building this community is to establish a steering committee of active members in the field who help 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.
