APL TUTOR: an on-line instructional facility.
apltutoronlinein00lane.pdf (10.05Mb)Abstract
This thesis describes a set of APL programs which enable
a student to learn A Programming Language (APL) by using it.
The student needs to know only how to log on id the computer
and enter a few simple commands to begin the course.
The basic unit of the TUTOR workspace is the text variable
which describes the use of one of seventy-five built-in
APL functions. This description is accessible by a HELP
function without going through an entire lesson. Other
functions conduct interactive question-and-answer drill. A
MENU function lists the units for student selection of a
lesson or information on a symbol. The student can also go
through a sequence of lessons in a computer-driven course.
These programs were written on and for the IBM 3033
installation at Naval Postgraduate School, using API version
4.0 for VM/CMS with IBM 3278 terminals.
