Interactive Visualization of Dependencies
Moreno, Camilo Arango; Bischof, Walter F.; Hoover, H. James
Computers & Education, v58 n4 p1296-1307 May 2012
We present an interactive tool for browsing course requisites as a case study of dependency visualization. This tool uses multiple interactive visualizations to allow the user to explore the dependencies between courses. A usability study revealed that the proposed browser provides significant advantages over traditional methods, in terms of learnability, efficiency and user confidence. The results are discussed within a general framework for interactive visualization of dependencies. (Contains 1 table and 9 figures.)
