An Interactive Tutoring System for Learning Language Processing and Compiler Design

Abstract

This poster presents an Interactive Tutoring System (ITS) that allows teachers to tutor and evaluate interactively the learning process that the students of a Compiler Design course must experience from each theoretical concept to obtain the code of its corresponding implementation (scanners, parsers, translators, interpreters, compilers), regardless of the specific tools chosen for the automatic code generation and the programming language. Through the use of the ITS, each teacher will be able to select those tools that he/she considers more adequate for the development of the course, and integrate them modularly into a common educational environment, so that if later on she/he decides to change these tools or the programming language, the ITS will continue to be valid, and the tutoring and evaluation process carried out by the ITS will remain the same to guide the students from theory to implementation.
