Systems development methods guidance and CASE: integration between CASE and CAL

摘要

The paper presents the first stage of work in enhancing CASE tools in the general area of student guidance for methods and techniques. A comparison is made between the integration of CASE and CAL and the incorporation of learning features within CASE. This shows how the merging of CASE and CAL produces enhanced learning for students. Particular attention is given to the creation of automated walkthroughs, which are shown to be a useful technique for supporting CAL within CASE. Extensions to a CASE tool are described that simplify the creation and use of such walkthroughs, and these are evaluated with reference to learning strategies.
