Abstract

This special issue presents extended versions of six papers presented at the 5th Program Visualization Workshop (PVW’08). The articles deal with many of the issues relevant to program and algorithm visualization in education. This foreword introduces these issues to better understand the challenges addressed by every article, and their relevance, as well as the articles featured. These issues are evaluation of program and algorithm visualization, integration of visualization and narratives into hypertextbooks, embedding of interactive quizzes into visualizations, and several classes of program visualization.
