Abstract

Classroom pair-programming activities have been found to support novice student's learning during basic programming courses. However, there are very few tools that could support pair or group programming in distance education courses. Here, we explain the new concept of collaborative program visualization and present a tool to support it, called JeCo, that can help students work together on a platform that supports both collaborative authoring and program visualization.
