Abstract:

ViLLE is a visualization tool for teaching programming to novice programmers. It has an extendable support for multiple programming languages which enables language-independent learning of programming. As a new feature, ViLLE supports automatically assessed exercises. The exercises can be easily integrated into a programming course by using the TRAKLA2 web environment.
