Abstract
COMES, a system for computer aided instruction oriented to programming languages, is described here. The system allows a full integration of theory learning and practical applications since it offers two different teaching strategies, one corresponding to a purely tutorial environment and one to a programming and problem-solving environment that has to be specialized for a given programming language. Thus, the learning process can be based on a tight alternation of theory and practice and relies more on personal experience than on memorization of abstract information. The main design choices are discussed in the paper and two examples of dialogues are supplied.

When it comes to MOOCs, where you are from makes a difference
AbstractMillions of learners have enrolled in MOOCs in the last few years. However, little is known about the essential skills students need to succeed in MOOCs. Even less is known about how country of origin or other aspects such as gender ...
Highlights- Cultural context structures digital skill capacities, contributing to MOOC learners' potential to excel in online courses.
When it comes to E-learning
E-learning is fast becoming a major learning and skills delivery method within larger companies as a staff development tool. Survey shows that among American colleges and universities in 2002, 11% of students took an online course, 97 % of public ...
