Description

ELM-ART is a Web-based interactive and intelligent textbook system developed for adaptive, diagnostically supported introductory programming instruction.

Components

• The interactive and intelligent textbook paradigm combining intelligent tutoring and adaptive hypermedia: ELM-ART introduced a paradigm in which a Web-based textbook looks like a traditional programming textbook with sections of text, program examples and problems, but all content is interactive and the book is intelligent, using AI technologies such as intelligent program analysis, concept-based hyperspace organization, intelligent links between examples and problems, and adaptive navigation support. The article calls it "a winning approach to combine intelligent tutoring and adaptive hypermedia technologies into a consistent design that matches the hypertext nature of the Web". This paradigm served as a blueprint for later systems and authoring tools. (Gerhard Weber et al. (2016))

Claims

• Students performed better in final programming tasks after learning with ELM-ART than with ELM-PE, especially students with lower levels of previous programming knowledge [+M]
