Abstract

Computer programming learning is difficult and requires hard work from students. They need to do many exercises and create many programs to improve their programming competences. In this paper we present ProGuide, a dialogue based tool to support weaker students to create basic programs. In ProGuide students are motivated and guided through a dialogue, where the tool puts questions to help students reach the problem solution.
