Suggesting examples to novice programmers in an open-ended context with the example guru

摘要

Many novice programmers use blocks-based programming environments outside of classrooms, due to a lack of computer science education in schools. Many solutions for supporting learning in these environments are out of the context of the programming environment and the user's project. In this poster, we present a way of expanding novice users' knowledge of a blocks-based programming environment by suggesting examples during open-ended programming.
