Abstract:
One very important educational factor is students' engagement into a subject. The aim of subjects dealing with graph theory and graph algorithms is above all to develop and deepen students' capacity for logical and algorithmic thinking. It also should develop student's imagination. Well-prepared students should be able to describe various practical situations with the aid of graphs, solve the given problem expressed by the graph, and translate the solution back into the initial situation. Deep analysis of the topic and discussion on mutual relationships between solutions to problems supports student's deeper understanding to a problem as well as to more complex algorithms. A lot of students are visual learners therefore it is useful to complete teaching and learning using various multimedia applications. The speech will be concentrated on a role of multimedia application and enjoyable tasks included as a useful part of education.
