TEACHING LOGIC PROGRAMMING FROM A DISTANCE: AN APPROACH
Abstract: In this paper a Networked Learning environment
is presented for teaching Logic Programming from a Distance. After a short
introduction to the Networked Learning approach to Open and Distance Learning,
we present the reasons why Logic Programming background is regarded as
necessary for a computer scientist. Technological and pedagogical aspects
of the design of the Networked Learning course are then discussed and the
designing choices are justified together with the implementation of the
environment, by giving descriptions of the syllabus and the course structure.
We discuss our experience acquired by both the web based teaching environment
and the teaching process. The Networked Learning course was delivered for
two successive academic years to undergraduate students under a SOCRATES-MINERVA
program. Finally, we briefly present the results of the networked learning
process based on student evaluation questionnaires and students’ learning
performance and we propose ways to improve the programme delivery and outcomes
