Outline of Final Research Achievements

We created a web-based learning environment for object-oriented programming language (Java) practice.The environment, constructed by utilizing cloud computing, can be used without relying on a fixed platform connected to the Internet.Users can easily execute computer language source code from anywhere and compile and debug it in the web-based environment.Our system, which implements turtle graphic function, makes it possible to learn object-oriented programming via the constructivist learning approach.The environment provides a security system to protect against risk resulting from directly or indirectly executing source code written in Java. A user's machine is not required to have a Java language development kit, and various problems can be prevented by the reduction in operating burden.
