Tool-Assisted Learning of Computational Reductions
Abstract
Computational reductions are an important and powerful concept in computer science. However, they are difficult for many students to grasp. In this paper, we outline a concept for how the learning of reductions can be supported by educational support systems. We present an implementation of the concept within such a system, concrete web-based and interactive learning material for reductions, and report on our experiences using the material in a large introductory course on theoretical computer science.
