Abstract

The introduction of educational software such as JFLAP into the course Formal Languages and Automata (FLA) has created a learning environment with automatic feedback on theoretical topics. In this paper we show how we further increase the interaction in the FLA course with the expansion of additional theoretical topics in JFLAP, and how we have added grading support into JFLAP for instructors.
