A Topic-based Computer Aided Instruction System for Programming Practice Courses

For overcoming the lack of systematicness and comprehensiveness of teaching contents in the micro-lecture, a topic-based computer aided instruction (CAI) system is designed and implemented. The CAI system is a web application based on Browser/Server framework. A topic amounts to a micro-lecture. By organizing and presenting teaching contents from diverse perspectives, the CAI system can make educatees to learn the inherent relation among the knowledge points and construct a framework of knowledge in educatees' brain. The CAI system can be used in flipped classroom to improve the quality and the effect of teaching.
