M-PLAT: Multi-Programming Language Adaptive Tutor

In this paper we introduce M-PLAT, an intelligent tutoring system for helping students to learn the basics of programming languages. In fact, the M-PLAT system represents a full collection of intelligent tutoring systems, and due to its modular and hierarchical architecture it can be upgraded to deal with a new programming language that is not yet included in the system. Thus, this tutoring system is not limited to a unique programming language, making M-PLAT a very scalable system. The best important feature of our system is that M-PLAT dynamically adapts itself to the learning style of each student, optimizing the learning time to each student.
