Abstract

We propose in this paper an electronic system for learning interactively context-free grammars through an Internet Web site. This system is based on active learning pedagogy and respects a philosophy called “eMathTeacher” proposed in [1]. Our system is implemented using modern Web technologies architecture, and can be accessed online with common Web Browser, the results show that the level of students to understand such difficult computer science discipline algorithms of discrete mathematics, while correcting their mistakes and guiding them to solve problems was enhanced markedly.
