Abstract

Teaching of computer programming has created significant difficulties to both teachers and students. Large class size is one of the major barriers to effective instruction. A well-designed pedagogy can make the instruction most effective. This paper will share our experiences of teaching programming courses with large class size. A set of programming exercises have been designed with help of computer assisted instruction. Evaluation has showed that the new pedagogy provide great flexibilities to both teaching and learning of computer programming. The students' academic results have been significantly improved in programming courses. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
