AlgoLC: A Learning Companion System for Teaching and Learning Algorithms

摘要

Learning algorithms involves translating sequences of simple steps that have complex results into instructions that can be followed by a computer. To accomplish this, the students have to develop skills of logical reasoning and algorithmic problem solving. This paper presents AlgoLC, a Learning Companion System that supports teaching and learning algorithms. Teaching is facilitated as the system provides the teacher with elements to better identify the students’ doubts and errors. Learning is facilitated by the learning companion as it provides support to the student identify and correct his or her own mistakes.
