Algoviz Project Steering Committee Workshop

计算机科学(31)这个项目包括举办一个研讨会，其目标是继续致力于发展算法和数据结构可视化(AVs)的用户和开发人员社区。AVS的成功使用既取决于优质教育材料的供应，也取决于它们的适当部署。自20世纪90年代中期以来，视听领域在采用率或总的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。由于开发和部署反病毒的有效方法是已知的，所以这些困难可以通过反病毒开发者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。这个社区帮助指导建立一个综合的资源和基础设施集合，作为通信枢纽和信息交换中心。这些资源利用反病毒开发者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。智力上的价值是提高了计算机科学教育界对如何使AVs在教学上有效的理解。更广泛的影响是提高AVS的普遍可获得性和质量，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结果。提供有关最佳实践的社区资源可改进未来AVs的开发。现有AVs的信息交换中心，并记录其使用的最佳做法，为教师提供高质量的教育材料。

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.
