Abstract
In this paper we propose a new integrated programming environment for teaching the object-oriented programming paradigm. The environment is based on the microworld approach to teaching programming and the programming language of Karel++. Its main features are: a series of e-lessons, a special kind of structure editor, run-time error detection, program animation and recordability of students’ actions. In this paper we present the programming environment, the results and our own experiences in using the integrated programming environment to teach object-oriented programming to undergraduate students.
