Mathilde Alonso, Dominique Py · Frontiers in artificial intelligence and applications · 2009
This paper reports an experimentation of DIAGRAM conducted during Fall 2008 with students at the university level, in ecological context. DIAGRAM is a learning environment for UML class diagrams that provides specific interaction features and contextual helps for novice users; a diagnostic component enables the system to give advices and suggestions that are tailored to the learner's diagram. The evaluation was conducted using the videos of the sessions. The results show that DIAGRAM is quite helpful for novice learners and suggest some ways to improve the environment.
