Visualization of Course Requisites
Fall 2009
We present an interactive tool for browsing the requisites between courses in the University of Alberta as a case study of dependency visualization. This tool uses multiple interactive visualizations to allow the user to explore the courses' dependencies. We performed a usability study that...
