Abstract

We propose Pythonpad, an open-source JavaScript library that supports web-based Python programming exercises. Unlike other standalone web-based programming tools, Pythonpad can be easily integrated into other websites. Although it runs learners' Python code in client-side web browsers, Pythonpad supports a file system, building and importing external modules, and many essential built-in Python libraries to teach basic programming concepts in CS1 classes.

A Pedagogical Review of Programming Education Research: What Have We Learned

Previous research has shown that especially novice students may find learning programming to be difficult in terms of programming concepts and program design. Many students fail to write correct program codes after the course and achieve the level of ...

ICER 2021: Proceedings of the 17th ACM Conference on International Computing Education Research

Most text-based programming languages found in introductory programming courses use English words. This fact alone can deter non-English speakers who wish to learn to program: how can we expect them to learn a programming language if they do not even ...
