Implementación de un Chatbot para el aprendizaje práctico de programación

Abstract

Abstract: In recent times, the use of chatbots has become even more widespread in times of pandemic crisis where education has been virtualized. This has opened up new opportunities to integrate messaging services with new mechanisms for the benefit of education. Where chatbot-mediated programming learning not only focuses on multiple choice answers but also enhances learning through code writing practices. For this reason, in this work the feasibility of writing code within the Telegram chat was studied, as well as the necessary mechanisms to execute code safely were evaluated and designed. As aresult of the tests, it was possible to obtain the question models that could be solved within a chatbot, as well as the limitations. With the implementation of the system, it was shown that it is possible to carry out programming practices within a chat,however, it was discovered that to control that the answers are correct it is necessary to develop a set of validation rules and that this will depend on level access that provided by each interpreter to evaluate the snippet of code.
