This paper describes three software tools that have been developed to help students
learn to produce entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs) in the context of data modelling.
The primary tool, called the Exerciser, presents a student with a series of questions
and enables the student to produce ERDs that represent the data requirements for the
scenarios embedded in the questions. The Exerciser marks each attempt at a diagram
and provides several feedback perspectives on the student’s answer. The questions,
specimen solutions and feedback are built using a tool (the Tutor Tool) which is also
described. Both the Exerciser and the Tutor Tool incorporate a purpose-built entity-relationship
diagramming tool known as SimpleDraw. The Exerciser has been evaluated and the results
of the evaluation are presented. This feedback shows that the tool was found to be
very useful and has provided information on which to base a revised version with improved
usability. |
