A Self-Checking Interface For MATLAB- Based Interactive Exercises*
Brian L. F. Daku · International journal of engineering education · 2001
Effective computer-based educational learning tools must engage the student with significantquestions to deepen understanding of the subject. These tools should also provide immediatefeedback to the student and, if necessary, direct the student into remedial work. This paperdescribes the construction of a self-checking interface that can be used to evaluate student answersto challenging questions in an interactive computer-based educational tool. This self-checkinginterface has been implemented using MATLAB. An example exercise, taken from a computer-based tutorial that uses this self-checking interface, demonstrates how the interface operates.
