The Algorithm Visualization Research Group seeks to understand all aspects of algorithm visualization as it applies to supporting the understanding of algorithms for teaching and research. Primary activities include support for an emerging community of users and developers of Algorithm Visualizations (AVs) through the AlgoViz Wiki (algoviz.cs.vt.edu); development of exemplary AVs (research.cs.vt.edu/algoviz/), and pedagogical research aimed at a deep understanding of how to make Algorithm Visualization successful in teaching and learning.

Pragmatics of Educational/Emotional Computing (POET) Research Lab

The POET lab engages in research of real-world technology projects that promote equity and excellence in K-12 math and science classrooms and university engineering education, explores systems (especially Tuple Space-based) to support complex human coordination, lies in the realms of computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) and computer-supported cooperative learning (CSCL), evaluates handheld, tablet, and large-screen computing, and contributes to the issues of social attention and technology.
