The studying and teaching of the analysis of algorithmic concepts can prove to be complex for both students and educators in algorithm courses. Traditional instructional aids such as textbook illustrations and other visual aids are attempts to address this challenge. A number of algorithm animation systems have emerged to address the limitation inherent in these static visual aids. One limitation of current algorithm animation systems is their restricted flexibility in terms of the simple addition of non-resident functionality, especially algorithms. This paper presents the design of an extensible framework for algorithm animation systems. A brief discussion on the development of a prototype using sorting algorithms based on the framework demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed design.
