Martin, Taylor; Berland, Matthew; Benton, Tom; Smith, Carmen Petrick – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2013
In this paper, we present two studies examining how high school students learn to program in a mobile, social programming environment that we have developed and deployed ("IPRO"). IPRO is delivered, with an associated curriculum, as an iPod Touch app and is freely and publicly available. We find that the affordances of mobility and…
