Abstract

This paper describes possible advantages of adding an interactive tool with log capabilities, in an online learning environment. We describe the interactive, Java-based tool named JCachesim, which is used for experimenting cache behavior with simple assembly programs while varying cache features. The tool has embedded features that allow the teacher to monitor the progress of each individual student.
