Peter L. Brusilovsky, Michael V. Yudelson, I‐Han Hsiao · Journal of educational multimedia and hypermedia · 2009
The paper analyzes three major problems encountered by our team as we endeavored to turn problem solving examples in the domain of programming into highly reusable educational activities, which could be included as learning objects in various educational digital libraries. It also suggests three specific approaches to resolving these problems, and reports on the evaluation of the suggested approaches. Our successful experience, presented in this paper, demonstrates how to make program examples selfsufficient, guide individual students to the most appropriate examples, and increase the volume of annotated examples.
