From greedex to greedex tab v2.0: Tool for learning greedy algorithms on ipad following CIAM mobile methodology

Abstract

The growth in the use of mobile devices have allowed for the development of new educational modalities within e-Learning. Because of this, we have shown the evolution experienced by GreedEx, a desktop application that facilitates the learning of greedy algorithms. Two iPad versions were developed (GreedEx Tab v1.0 and v2.0). The first iPad version adapted many functionalities to mobile devices, whilst the latest one adds several pedagogical usability characteristics. For that, we followed the CIAM Mobile methodology, improving the educational and collaborative aspects. Our main aim is to verify that this methodology is useful for the production of new methodological approaches aligned with the principles of MDE (Model-Driven Engineering) that gives support to learning activities within a group. Therefore, this work can be considered a preliminary m-CIAM test case.
