ALGOWEB: A Web-Based Environment for Learning Introductory Programming
Ricardo Vargas Dorneles, Delcino Picinin, André Adami · 2010
This paper describes an environment named AlgoWeb for learning introductory programming. AlgoWeb has a syntax highlighting editor for structured Portuguese, step-by-step processing, breakpoints and monitoring variable values. In addition, AlgoWeb has a set of algorithmic problems that encompasses the concepts and techniques taught in introductory programming courses. AlgoWeb can also check the correctness of the solution (with respect to previously defined input and output data) submitted by its users for the problems available in the environment. All the interactions between the users and the environment are registered, providing a valuable tool to evaluate the progress of each student or class.
