Perspectives
on Program Animation with Jeliot:
Mordechai Ben-Ari, Niko Myller, Erkki Sutinen, Jorma Tarhio (2002) (ed.
Stephan Diehl) Software Visualization, Lecture Notes in Computer Science
2269, 31–45.
The Jeliot family consists of three program animation
environments which are based on a self-animation paradigm. A student
can visualize her Java code without inserting additional calls to animation
primitives. The design of the animation environments has been guided
by the analysis of feedback from high school and university students.
Evaluation studies indicate the benefit of dedicated animation environments
for different user groups like novice programmers. Based on the results
of these studies, we present plans for a future work on Jeliot.
