چکیده
It is known that introductory computer programming courses are difficult and that failure rates are high [1, 2, and 3]. The aim of this project was to improve student success rates in learning to program. This paper presents a number of changes in module organization and instructional delivery system. Interactive lectures and laboratory sessions, online resources, timely feedback, and out of class help sessions and support were applied. The primary results indicate a positive evaluation of the modified instructional delivery system, overall satisfaction with the course and consequently, a higher success rate.
