Abstract

The paper reports an effort to construct a Web-based environment for teaching/learning algorithm design. The semantic web version of PAR platform, a practical platform for formal algorithm development, consists of structural knowledge models for effectively organizing and managing learning concepts in the domains of problem specification, algorithm calculation, algorithm reuse, and program transformation, and provides effective learning paths for synthesize and transmit these concepts meeting the requirements of Web users. The e-learning PAR platform has been successfully applied in undergraduate and graduate courses, and demonstrated its effectiveness in improving algorithm learning.
