W-Educ: A Complete and Dynamic Web Environment for Ecucational Robotics
Educational Robotics, Multiplatform System
This paper proposes a web environment for educational robotics, which is an open, dynamic and complete solution to assist in the teaching-learning process in this type activity. The environment allows different robotic platforms are programmed through the registration of programming languages with their low level functions using an intermediate language with a high level of abstraction. The system can be used by any user with or without programming experience, through a language with simple text commands. This work provides, then, a full web system that can be used to facilitate the teaching/learning process using educational robotics. In addition, for validation purposes this work includes a homogeneous method for evaluating educational software for robotics, which validated the developed tool through experiments that have assessed its didactical use and its features and compared with other tools.
