alice-teacher 3D software

[Don Slater]

How familiar is everyone with the materials available at

	http: //www.aliceprogramming.net 

There is a set of instructor materials there, including sample syllabi, projects and solutions, quizzes, assignments, test banks and solutions, some student example worlds… These materials are designed for use with the "Learning to Program with Alice" textbook by Dann, Cooper and Pausch, but they are freely available to school instructors to be used with any textbook, as their development was supported by NSF funding.

They are password protected to preserve the integrity of the solutions so that teachers may use the exercises and exams, with some confidence that students will not have access to these answers and solutions. You may apply for the login and password by contacting Steve Cooper <coopers at cs.stanford.edu> at Stanford University or Barbara J Conover <bconover at purdue.edu>.

At their request, we will not be publishing the login / password information on this listserv, as they are tracking access and use of the website.

In watching the flow of messages over the past week or so the question has arisen as to what other materials would you like to see. Or how would you like to see the materials that are available packaged differently.

I will also be happy to discuss the organization of the materials at aliceprogramming.net in more useful if that would be helpful.

All the best, and happy holidays!
