Abstract
Teaching a course in compiler construction is considered always a challenge because there are several problems to be addressed as time, complexity and motivation of students. In this paper, we present a hybrid learning approach along with a tool for use with courses of compiler construction. The key to our method is to combine theoretical and practical topics of the course using various technologies such as mobile learning, intelligent tutoring systems, learning social networks with direct learning. The ultimate goal is to stimulate the student’s abilities to work creatively, collaboratively or individually, as well as their ability to solve complex problems.
