  abstract =     "In this paper, we describe two related techniques for
                 delivering instructional animations of parallel
                 algorithms --- one that runs on a Microsoft Windows
                 workstation and another that is Web-based. After
                 discussing the techniques, we examine their use in two
                 pedagogical settings --- one in which students merely
                 watch the animations as an aid to achieving a better
                 understanding of the algorithm and one in which
                 students actively participate in constructing the
                 animation. The former context is appropriate in a
                 junior-senior algorithms course where, because of time
                 constraints, parallel algorithms are only one of
                 several topics studied. The latter context is
                 appropriate for a course dedicated to the study of
                 parallel algorithms or for a senior capstone
                 experience. We conclude the paper with an appraisal of
                 the strengths and weaknesses of the techniques we have
                 developed and with some indications of how these
                 techniques could be extended in the future.",
