Saci – ainda outro ambiente para o ensino de programação
Abstract
This paper presents an integrated system for teaching and learning computer programming. The system, named Saci, comprises a sub-system for managing users, a sub-system for managing classes, and the main teaching environment which is implemented as a single-page Web application. The learning environment incorporates tools for visualizing the class contents (video, supporting documents), a set of practical exercises, tools for editing the source-code, executing and verifying the program correctness, and some simple help tools. After a “class”, pre-built by a teacher, is loaded into a student’s Web browser, all processing happens in the browser, with no configuration or installation needed in the student’s computer. A first course using the Saci system was deployed mid-March by the Brazilian Olimpyad in Informatics.
