Abstract for the conference program
It is known that introductory computer programming courses are difficult and that failure rates are high. This paper presents a number of changes in module organization and instructional delivery system. The primary results indicate a positive evaluation of the modified instructional delivery system, overall satisfaction with the course and consequently, a higher success rate.
