IT-education using intelligent learning environments

Abstract

A new systematic approach for structuring of content, methodology and didactics for IT courses is proposed. A mixture of frame-based and production systems is used to represent the knowledge and organize the interactive learning. A general multilevel representation of the computer architecture is considered as a base, which defines structure and interconnection between subjects. The representation consists of ten specification levels of the computer. By means of these levels computer architecture can be studied by end users, applied software programmers, system software programmers or hardware specialists, including natural science theoreticians, which use natural laws, phenomena and effects to create and research new ways of computing. Last one can be mentioned in relation to neurocomputers invention and putting them into practice, experiments with creation of quantum- and biocomputers.
