Abstract

This paper describes the initial steps taken towards incorporating an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) into Alice. After initially describing an ITS, the paper focuses on the development of several tutorials for teaching specific introductory programming concepts that have been created using stencils. Initial results concerning usability and effectiveness of these stencil-based tutorials are provided.
