| Abstract | Based on research into learning programming and a review of program visualization research, we designed an educational software tool that aims to target students' apparent fragile knowledge of elementary programming which manifests as difficulties in tracing and writing even simple programs. Most existing tools build on a single supporting technology and focus on one aspect of learning. For example, visualization tools support the development of a conceptual-level understanding of how programs work, and automatic assessment tools give feedback on submitted tasks. We implemented a combined tool that closely integrates programming tasks with visualizations of program execution and thus lets students practice writing code and more easily transition to visually tracing it in order to locate programming errors. In this paper we present Jype, a web-based tool that provides an environment for visualizing the line-by-line execution of Python programs and for solving programming exercises with support for immediate automatic feedback and an integrated visual debugger. Moreover, the debugger allows stepping back in the visualization of the execution as if executing in reverse. Jype is built for Python, when most research in programming education support tools revolves around Java. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
