Journal of engineering education transformationsSummary: We have developed an Android app named Operating System Algorithms Visualization App (OSAVA) to visualize different types of algorithms used in operating systems. We have used it to teach a course on operating systems in the Spring semester of 2016, 2017 and 2018. The course was attended by 243 undergraduate students and 84% of them said that OSAVA helped them in understanding the algorithms. The students scored 6% more marks in the exam than the students of the previous year who were taught without the app. We feel that implementing the tool as a mobile app allowed the students to use it during lectures and proved particularly helpful in its integration in the course.
