Abstract

We describe a system to improve the quality of feedback provided to an Introductory Programming course. The system uses web technology to create a graphical tool that the tutors can use to produce student-friendly feedback. It was used during the first semester in Autumn 2002. Analysis of exam results show that there was a statistically significant improvement and student surveys showed that they enjoyed using the system.
