“…In order to illustrate our approach we will use a very simplified version of a Socratic Tutoring System, which is based on the works performed by Prof. Alfred Bork's team during the 1980s (Bork, 1985;Ibrahim, 1989). Although the pedagogical adequacy of tutoring systems as mechanisms for supporting sophisticated learning processes has been seriously questioned, today there is a very active community working in this field, as well as relevant initiatives (e.g.…”

In this paper we propose a language-driven approach for the high-level design of interactive applications architected according to the model-view-controller pattern. The approach is especially well-suited for applications that incorporate contents with sophisticated structures, and whose interactive behavior is driven by these structures. In our approach we characterize the structure of the contents stored in the applications' models with suitable domain-specific languages. Then we characterize the interactive behavior of these applications by assigning suitable operational semantics to these languages. The resulting designs are amenable to support rapid prototyping, exploration and early discovery of application features, systematic implementation using standard web-based technologies, and rational collaboration processes between domain experts and developers during production and maintenance. We exemplify the approach in the e-learning domain with a system for the production of Socratic tutors.

“…Given that our graphical editor was meant to be used to build specification graphs from scratch during brainstorming sessions [9], we considered that having a complete rearrangement of the graph layout at each step of the editing would unacceptably disrupt the editing process. Even a sporadic rearrangement of nodes was rejected as unacceptable if it was not absolutely necessary.…”
