Problem solving using a programming language such as C++ is a complex multi-step task. AlgoTutor trains introductory computer science students to start the problem solving process with algorithm design. The system then helps students learn how to trace an algorithm with an execution trace visualization tool. The final step of implementing an algorithm in code is accomplished with the ProgramPad...
