Abstract

This paper reports on the efforts of an ITiCSE 2007 working group with the aim of producing a publicly available, searchable, tagable, Web 2.0-style repository of short debugging videos. This repository may be accessed from http://debug.csi.muohio.edu/. The videos are aimed at novice Java programmers who may need help debugging when none is available (e.g. in the middle of the night before the homework is due). However, it could also be used by instructors of introductory programming. Here we discuss our motivation in creating this repository and detail the process we followed and the products we produced.
