An innovative approach to improve the teaching and learning in computer programming by using the web tutorial applications / Mohd Norafizal Abd Aziz, Mahfudzah Othman and Zainab Othman

Computer programming courses are often claimed to be tough and, thus, high failure rates usually becomes an issue debated over these years. Taking this issue into account, several methods and techniques have been incorporated by the lecturers in teaching programming courses in order to improve the s...
