“…Since a new Scratch extension called Tooee was proposed allowing Scratch to communicate with text-based programming languages. Based on four design principles, the extension is made up of a minimum number of conversational blocks [17]. They performed predictive analysis, the predictive ability of a neural network improves as the data set grows, as it has more samples to learn from, and as a result, the network can learn more precise features (features that are closer to the reality of the problem) [18].…”

Artificial intelligence in virtual learning environments in higher education for Ecuador continues to be a problem because there is no adequate analysis. The objective of this research is to carry out the analysis of artificial intelligence applied in virtual learning environments for higher education. The deductive method and exploratory research were used to analyze the problems that arise from properly applying artificial intelligence in virtual environments. Turned out a Prototype of Virtual Environments based on AI, considering all the necessary processes for an adequate virtual environment. It was concluded that for an adequate solution of virtual environments based on artificial intelligence, the characteristics, capabilities, virtual community and IT infrastructure must be defined, where it will be applied, knowledge and digital material information, AI components, among others.

This paper describes the design and evaluation of DSAScratch, an extension to Scratch, a widely used block-based programming language. The DSAScratch framework implements advanced data structures such as arrays, sets, dictionaries, and searching and sorting algorithms. By presenting these concepts in an intuitive block-based interface, these blocks abstract away technical details and simplify data structures and algorithms concepts for K-12 students to grasp and apply to programming problems more readily. A preliminary evaluation of the tools' usability and learning outcomes is presented in this paper. Given the information we have gathered about DSAScratch, we show that the extension is beneficial for students to develop a deeper understanding of programming and an intuitive understanding of these concepts in high school. We present the methodology and preliminary results of a user study conducted with ten high school students. During the user study, 70% of the participants understood the key ideas behind DSAScratch implemented data structures and algorithms through a mixture of lectures and hands-on activities. We show that DSAScratch was also an important part of the workshop for 90% of the students who participated, as it enhanced their understanding of algorithms and data structures. Furthermore, they indicated that they would recommend DSAScratch to their peers.

In this paper, we present a novel approach to teach text processing for primary and secondary school students using a block-based programming language such as Scratch. Our main idea is to have students (1) build "basic building blocks" for text processing, and then (2) use them to create our example text processing applications. Here, we slightly modified Scratch to make it easy for students to create these basic building blocks. Also, because our example applications are built on the Data & Analysis subconcepts (Storage, Collection, Visualization, Transformation, and Inference & Models) of ACM CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards, students can achieve these standards as well as an understanding of text processing by implementing them. We conducted two lectures using our approach for primary/secondary school teachers, and the teachers who responded to our survey gave high scores on average for most of the evaluation measures. We also conducted an in-depth analysis of the survey results, including comparison with other survey results in similar groups.INDEX TERMS Block-based programming language, K-12 education, natural language processing, Scratch, text processing, Tooee
