I wrote my dissertation on using Alice3 in the classroom if you are interested: http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark%3A/67531/metadc271795/

Influence of Alice 3: Reducing the Hurdles to Success in a Cs1 Programming Course : UNT Digital Library
Learning the syntax, semantics, and concepts behind software engineering can be a challenging task for many individuals. This paper examines the Alice 3 software, a three-dimensional visual environment for teaching programming concepts, to determine if it is an effective tool for improving student achievement, raising self-efficacy, and engaging students. This study compares the similarities and differences between a Fundamentals of Programming course with and without Alice integrated into the curriculum. Both the treatment and control Groups are using the same Java materials, assignments, and exams. The treatment group also completes Alice activities for each programming concept throughout the course; as well as two Alice assignments.

Subject: alice-teacher research on use of Alice at the college level


Has anyone ever done a survey in the past three years of using Alice in conjunction with intro programming at the college level.  I am interested in investigating this.
