An Adaptive Web-Based System for Learning Programming
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an approach to learning programming by novice programmers through a web-based adaptive educational system called ALEA (Adaptive LEArning). ALEA supports learning programming by generating sequences of program examples that serve as exercises for a learner. The sequence is adapted to the needs of individual learners. At present, ALEA contains more than a hundred Lisp and Prolog program examples. The program examples are presented as specific instances of program schemata which facilitate understanding of basic programming principles. We have been using the program schemata in teaching an introductory course on functional and logic programming for nearly ten years. Until the ALEA system was developed, the program schemata constituted an important part of the lectures. At present ALEA enables effective acquisition of basic programming skills through usage of program schemata and adapted sequences of program examples. We also discuss our experience in using web-based support for teaching programming.

Hybrid Adaptive Educational Hypermedia Recommender Accommodating User’s Learning Style and Web Page Features
Personalized recommenders have proved to be of use as a solution to reduce the information overload problem. Especially in Adaptive Hypermedia System, a recommender is the main module that delivers suitable learning objects to learners. Recommenders suffer from the cold-start and the sparsity problems. Furthermore, obtaining learner’s preferences is cumbersome. Most studies have only focused...

متن کاملWeb-Based Learning Environment using Adapted Sequences of Programming Exercises
Adaptive hypermedia (AH) educational systems aim at improving self-learning of individuals. Although the research in this area is very active, only little work is done in the area of educational knowledge representation and their use in various domains. In this paper we present the ALEA (Adaptive LEArning) system, which is a web-based environment targeted on support of learning programming lang...
متن کاملAdaptive Approximation-Based Control for Uncertain Nonlinear Systems With Unknown Dead-Zone Using Minimal Learning Parameter Algorithm
This paper proposes an adaptive approximation-based controller for uncertain strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown dead-zone nonlinearity. Dead-zone constraint is represented as a combination of a linear system with a disturbance-like term. This work invokes neural networks (NNs) as a linear-in-parameter approximator to model uncertain nonlinear functions that appear in virtual and act...
