Carmona Morales, D.; Jimenez-Hornero, J. E.; Vazquez, F.; Morilla, F. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
In this paper, an optimal tuning tool is presented for control structures based on multivariable proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control, using genetic algorithms as an alternative to traditional optimization algorithms. From an educational point of view, this tool provides students with the necessary means to consolidate their knowledge on…

Scheines, Richard; Sieg, Wilfried – Interactive Learning Environments, 1994
Using a computerized logic course employing the Carnegie Mellon Proof Tutor problem-solving environment, crucial features of computer environments were isolated and relative pedagogical effectiveness was assessed. Students used computerized environments to construct proofs and were presented with identical course materials on sentential logic. The…
