Hamming's method, an approach from educational software

Abstract

The research presents a proposal for educational software to favor the teaching-learning process of the Hamming method in the Computer Networks subject. The fundamental characteristics of educational software are discussed as well as the main elements to take into account for its development. The work has its origin in the need to develop educational software as a didactic material that facilitates the understanding of the Hamming method for students of the Informatics Engineering career. The priority was directed to a proposal for a visual application developed in Java that demonstrates the procedure to follow for the detection and rectification of errors by means of this method. The main result is a new educational software proposal for the subject to support the teaching-learning process.
