Description

A simple, basic introduction to big O notation. A multimedia lecture, with audio used to explain the data structure and a series of slides for the visual component. Each slide has its own video component, so it is easy to move through the lecture. Each slide has flash animation as appropriate.

Evaluation

Not interactive, but in that sense it is certainly no worse than a standard animation. The presentations are clear.

An introduction to amortized analysis. A multimedia lecture, with audio used to explain the data structure and a series of slides for the visual component. Each slide has its own video component, so it is easy to move through the lecture. Each slide has flash animation as appropriate.

Description

Demonstrates the algorithm for simultaneously finding the minimum and maximum values in an array.

Evaluation

The key issue with this algorithm is the lower bounds proof for the problem, not the workings of the algorithm. This AV does not explain the lower bounds issue, it only presents the algorithm. Might be useful as an incidental lecture aid, but not useful for students learning on their own.
