Learning basic programming concepts in computer science-related fields poses a challenge for students, to the extent that it becomes an academic-social problem, resulting in high failure and dropout rates. Proposed solutions to the problem can be found in the literature, such as the development of new programming languages and environments, the…

Recommender-driven online learning systems (ROLS) are at the forefront of new computer-based learning. They incorporate machine learning to allow learning-by-doing, generating personalized recommendations in the process. This article describes the evaluations of a new type of online learning systems, ROLS. This evaluation was carried out in three…

Contribution: This article presents the instruction of computer programming using adaptive learning activities considering students' cognitive skills based on the learning theory of the Revised Bloom Taxonomy (RBT). To achieve this, the system converts students' knowledge level to fuzzy weights, and using rule-based decision making, delivers…

Rapid growth of the volume of interactive questions available to the students of modern E-Learning courses placed the problem of personalized guidance on the agenda of E-Learning researchers. Without proper guidance, students frequently select too simple or too complicated problems and ended either bored or discouraged. This paper explores a…

We present COLLECT-UML, a constraint-based intelligent tutoring system (ITS) that teaches object-oriented analysis and design using Unified Modelling Language (UML). UML is easily the most popular object-oriented modelling technology in current practice. While teaching how to design UML class diagrams, COLLECT-UML also provides feedback on…
