Abstract

The design of learning activity and paths in informatics is made difficult on the one hand by the absence of a well-established tradition of teaching computer science and on the other by the fact that in many countries the official curricular recommendations are moving towards a competency-based model, increasing the responsibility of teachers. Motivated by the current state of informatics education in Italy, this work presents a system realized to support the research and classification of teaching activities in order to better select the most appropriate ones for the achievement of predetermined learning objectives. A wizard is also provided that allows teachers to use selected activities to design articulated learning paths. The system is designed to be used in the context of a community of practice involving teachers and experts in informatics education, in which innovative learning activities and paths are proposed, validated and shared.
