Abstract :
Describes AACE, a methodology for educational algorithm animation that the author developed while building an integrated hypermedia algorithm animation environment extending a fundamental algorithms textbook. After presenting the general structure of AACE, he discusses questions of the ideal user interface for algorithm animations. He compares his approach to the development of algorithm animation that he calls `structure-based´ with the more conventional `unified view´-based approach
