Web-based graphic environment to support programming in the beginning learning process

Abstract

The present paper focus on the computer programming for a beginning level of learning. Students' learning challenges were identified through literature review. We propose a solution that enables students to interact with an editor that gives an output as a response. We also analyze the impact of the use of this framework and identify that some support tools. Preliminary evaluation shows that some of the support tools are more effective than others. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
