Introduction to Iltis: An Interactive, Web-Based System for Teaching Logic
Logic is a foundation for many modern areas of computer science. In
artificial intelligence, as a basis of database query languages, as well as in
formal software and hardware verification --- modelling scenarios using logical
formalisms and inferring new knowledge are important skills for going-to-be
computer scientists. The Iltis project aims at providing a web-based,
interactive system that supports teaching logical methods. In particular the
system shall (a) support to learn to model knowledge and to infer new knowledge
using propositional logic, modal logic and first-order logic, and (b) provide
immediate feedback and support to students. This article presents a
prototypical system that currently supports the above tasks for propositional
logic. First impressions on its use in a second year logic course for computer
science students are reported
