CHI 2010 AlVIS direct manipulation for computer program

43% drop out rate on programming courses.

programming environment which combines direct manipulation with text box.
uses some programming by showing ( drag over array to show it )

experiment to test if they they got programming (but with small numbers).

the number suggest that it works.

less looking at the help system.

I wonder if this is the same as Scratch.

Viscosity problem - changing a line of  code is slow.
