Abstract

Visualization and animation can be effective pedagogic tools to help students learn computer science concepts, such as computer organization and algorithms. This paper presents a framework that provides accessibility, in addition to visualization and animation, to assist both sighted and non-sighted students to learn computer organization concepts. In particular, the framework is designed under the philosophy of student-directed, active learning. Moreover, it is developed as an Eclipse IDE perspective.
