Abstract

A system that supports learning activities on data base management systems for the degree course in computer science is presented. After an accurate analysis of main open source tools, the system has been developed using ATutor, a freeware and multiplatform Learning Component Management System developed at the University of Toronto. The learning environment contains several courses, but our attention points out on the data base course. The course structure and evaluation criteria for system usability are discussed.
