Virtual laboratory practice for data structures and algorithms course

Because of the importance of technology and its rapid improvements within our country, many universities open distance education programs. Although they are fully widespread, distance education programs can not replace face to face education. This problem has been solved with blended learning approach, which has appeared recently. Blended leaarning is determined as a combination of e-learning and classical learning.In this study, a virtual laboratory, which will contribute to the distance learning as an education material and which can be used in both classical and blended learning, has been established. With this virtual laboratory, it is aimed that students will be enabled to perform course activities whenever and wherever they want.While developing the application, data structures and algorithms courses are used as foundations. Application codes were developed via Asp.Net in Visual Studio 2005 and supported by C # programming language codes. This application was used by computer programming students and the results were evaluated with a questionnaire.Keywords: Virtual Laboratory, e-Learning, C Programing, Data Structures, algorithms.
