Abstract

Data Structures is a core course for Computer Science and Engineering discipline students which aims to cultivate undergraduate's abilities in selecting appropriate data structures to develop high quality application programs. But there are many complicated algorithms in it. This paper describes visualization of the data structures course which enables the students to master in this course and to attain the ease of learning. This paper also presents combination of active learning methods mixed along with online visualization as a case study conducted in K G Reddy College of Engineering and Technology to improve Critical Thinking skills.
