Web-Based Trainer for Electrical Circuit Analysis

A Web-based system for training electric circuit analysis is presented in this paper. It is centered on symbolic analysis techniques and it not only verifies the student's final answer, but it also tracks and coaches him/her through all steps of his/her reasoning path. The system mimics homework assignments, enhanced by immediate personalized feedback. Evaluation data based upon a first trial indicate that this tool is a useful complement to the traditional training approach.
