“…In particular: • Concerning the approaches to the development of generalpurpose educational systems [3][5][9] [12], while these efforts are oriented to develop any type of educational system and software, our proposal is more focused on the • Concerning specific process models for the development of educational games, while according to the process model in [14] instructors must face the complexities of game design by using suitable domain-specific languages, we adopt a more specific and narrowed approach: instructors are focused on the design of exercises that are automatically mapped on working interactive simulations, which can adopt the form of educational serious games. Thus, in our approach instructors are released from having any game design expertise and they are focused on what they are expert: devising quality learning materials.…”

“…For instance, ADDIE (Analysis -DesignDevelopment -Implementation -Evaluation), one of the most widespread instructional system design methodologies, puts a strong emphasis on the organizational aspects of the instructional design process and can be applied not only to technologyenhanced but also to conventional learning systems [3]. Specially targeted to the development of educational software, the methodology described in [12] integrates phases ranging from the feasibility of the tool to the withdrawal or maintenance of the software. They pass through other phases as prototype design and development or testing.…”

This paper introduces a process model for the production of interactive simulations that promotes the automatic generation of this kind of artifacts from representative collections of exercises. This approach is especially well suited for the early stages of Engineering Education, due to the importance played by interactive simulations and the resolution of carefully-designed batteries of exercises in the acquisition of basic skills in engineering disciplines. According to this process model, instructors are equipped with: (i) an authoring tool, which helps them to provide and maintain the collections of exercises, (ii) a generator, able to automatically turn collections of exercises into executable interactive simulators, and (iii) an analytic tool that can be applied to the logs produced by such simulators in order to assess student performance. In addition, the model promotes the improvement of the resulting educational systems through an exhaustive and continuous evaluation process. Besides to detail the process model, this paper illustrates it with the development of Evaluators, an educational system for the generation of different kinds of interactive simulations in introductory Compiler Construction courses typically taught in Computer Science and Computer Engineering degrees.
