Jeliot I back to Publications

• Animation of User Algorithms on the Web:

  An algorithm animation environment called Jeliot is presented Jeliot allows a Web user to visualize his own algorithms written in Java over the Internet Jeliot is based on self animation of data types the user selects the data objects of the source code which he wants to visualize and Jeliot produces the animation automatically
• A visualization tool as a demonstration aid:
  Matti Lattu, Veijo Meisalo, Jorma Tarhio (2003) Computers & Education 41(2), 133–148.
  As algorithms have been seen to be hard to teach and learn, teachers have tried to look for help in algorithm animation. While the effect of algorithm animation on learning has been studied, but not reliably evidenced, this study tries to approach the problem from a different perspective. Sixty hours of assignment sessions in an introductory programming course were observed to determine the kind of demonstration and explaining strategies teachers and students tend to use. The results show that although the variation of different visualisation types is large, there are certain common properties describing the explanation of the programs. Guidelines for demonstration tools are presented based on the results.
• How a Visualization Tool Can Be Used - Evaluating a Tool in a Research & Development Project:
  Matti Lattu, Jorma Tarhio, Veijo Meisalo (2000), 12th Workshop of the Psychology of Programming Interest Group, 19–32.
  This paper outlines a part of a larger qualitative evaluation study where Jeliot, a tool designed to aid students in understanding algorithms, was used in a real classroom situation by two different groups. According to the findings, the tool could be used in an introductory programming course and students found visualization helpful. However, the making SV automatic is not a straightforward task, as the tool should be able to understand the relations of the variables. Based on the findings we suggest some further development areas for Jeliot.
