Abstract
Web-based interactive learning is an important educational trend. In this paper, we implemented web-based virtual education courseware for the C programming language. It consists of two major components: a creative lecture component for students and an evaluation component for lecturers. The lecture component contains HTML-based lecture notes with creative multimedia content, such as flash movies and video clips, and an effective web-based compiler which compiles C programs at the server. These are submitted by students through the Web and the program returns their execution results to the students’ PCs. There is also a submission component of a student’s reports and an online examination. The administration and management system for attendance checking, report assignment, online examination and scoring, etc is implemented using web technologies such as HTML, Java, Java script, PHP and MySQL database. This system enables students to easily understand the content and programming techniques of the C programming language. It enables lecturers to achieve higher productivity, saving them time and labor.
