  abstract =     "RoboProf is an online teaching system. It is based on
                 WWW technology and can easily incorporate
                 WWW-compatible media such as graphics, audio and video.
                 It is structured as a self-paced course book: RoboProf
                 presents the student with information on a
                 closely-defined topic and then marks a set of exercises
                 covering that material. When the students results are
                 satisfactory, a new topic is introduced. The idea
                 behind RoboProf is to increase motivation by borrowing
                 ideas from certain games. These ideas include providing
                 a challenge, giving quick feedback, making progress
                 visible and encouraging experimentation. RoboProf was
                 used to teach an introductory computer programming
                 course. An introductory computer programming course
                 must cover two main areas, the computer model (syntax
                 and semantics of a programming language) and program
                 design. In this paper I show how RoboProf can be
                 effectively used to help teach the syntax and semantics
                 of a programming language.",
