Abstract

Learning computer programming is known to be difficult for many beginners. With the primary aim to improving the practice of teaching and learning of computer programming, we have developed a web-based automated system, known as PASS, for use in our courses. Since its first introduction a few years ago, PASS has proved to be a valuable tool for both students and instructors. PASS has now undergone significant revisions, with enhanced capabilities that have created opportunities for new pedagogy and innovative strategies for both teaching and learning. This paper describes the functionalities, design and implementation of PASS, how it can be used to enhance students' interest of learning and monitor their progress, and illustrates several approaches with which PASS can facilitate blended learning of good practices in computer programming.
