Abstract

We present an interactive environment called Vedyafor the visualization of data structures and algorithmic schemes which can be used as a very useful educational tool in Computer Science. The integration of Vedyaand the Virtual Campusof the Complutense University of Madrid has allowed us to manage the whole administration of the individual students' homework, including generating exercises, tests, grading delivered homework, and storing the achieved results. The part of the system concerning data structures has been evaluated during the last academic course 2006/07. By means of the Vedyatool, the students benefited from complementary and interactive material, facilitating the intuitive comprehension of most typical operations of classical data structures without any restriction of time or material.
