چکیده
We report our teaching experience of undergraduate courses on logic and computation. The topics covered are the syntax and the semantics of basic logical and computational calculi. We put our emphasis on the treatment of formal systems and formal reasoning which is notoriously difficult for most students. To overcome this difficulty, we developed an e-learning system called CAL and have been using it for the last several of years. The CAL system turned out not only useful, but also essential to achieve the goals for our courses. In this paper we give an overview of the CAL system, describe the design principle of our courses, and discuss our teaching experiences.
