Title
IslayTouch: An Educational Visual Programming Environment Based on State-Transition Diagrams that Runs on Android Devices.
Abstract
Educational programming languages are programming languages that have been designed for beginners, with the purpose of teaching them the skill of logical thinking or as an introduction to regular programming languages. Although these languages are relatively easier for beginners, difficult concepts of regular programming languages are still being introduced into some of them. As a new approach to this problem, an educational visual programming environment called Islay has been developed. Due to the adoption of the simple concept of state-transition diagram, Islay becomes even easier for beginners than some other educational programming languages. In this research, a new version of Islay is developed as an Android application, with more features being added and a new user interface that is suitable for tablet devices.
