Object oriented programming is currently very much in focus and object-oriented languages (such as C++ and Java) are used as the first language to teach programming. The object oriented concepts such as objects and inheritance are difficult for understanding by novice programmers. The visualizations of examples of program code or programming tasks could help students to grasp programming structures more easily. The aim of this paper is to research the possibilities of enhancement of learning Java using the visualization software Jeliot.
