Dear all,
I'm resurrecting this discussion and moving it to github [1].
If some of you want to try a demo, I managed to integrate it, using the
"python loops" as a test [2].
Cheers,
Rémi

Via a post by Mark Guzdial [1], I found links to these two papers:
a) Parsons and Haden: Parson's Programming Puzzles: A Fun and
Effective Learning Tool for First Programming Courses [2]
b) Ihantola and Karavirta: Two-Dimensional Parson's Puzzles: The
Concept, Tools, and First Observations [3]
The first one introduces a programming exercise in which learners are
given the lines of code they need to solve a problem, and have to put
them in order. The second describes a tool for doing this with Python
code (where lines need to be indented as well as sorted), and a
Javascript widget for doing this in a web page. It would be really
cool if we could incorporate this into some of our lessons - anyone
want to take a crack at it and report back? I'd really like to know:
1. Does the tool work well enough to be worth adopting?
2. Can we nest it in our lessons (which are written in Markdown)
without heroic mind-bending effort and/or use of quantum entanglement?
Cheers,
Greg
