| description | This study presents the iterative development of an educational simulator for cache
and virtual memory. The previous iteration of the simulator, which was entirely
frontend-based, limited the educators’ ability to collect data on student engagement and
comprehension. Recognising the potential for better educational insights, the system
architecture was expanded by integrating a backend server built using the Express.js
framework and a NoSQL database management system, MongoDB, transforming the
simulator into a full-stack web application.
This opens up possibilities for collecting, storing, and analyzing user interaction
data, giving instructors valuable insights into their students’ performance and areas
of difficulty. To further aid in this, data visualisation for a variety of metrics was
implemented, both aggregate data as well as individual metrics, providing the big
picture and the granular details when needed. These changes enable educators to
efficiently plan their course curriculum to address difficult areas students may struggle
in. The design of the database schema, RESTful API, and others were carefully
considered and explained. Postman was utilised as an essential testing tool for ensuring
that API responses between the client and backend server remain correct. |
