Abstract

While online communities exist surrounding blocks programming environments, they do not support the type of feedback a novice programmer might receive in a classroom setting. We propose a feedback system in which experienced programmers author feedback and programmatic rules to distribute feedback to novice programmers. Finally, we outline three main considerations for designing systems for online community feedback for novice programmers: community members, the format of the feedback, and how the feedback is distributed at a large scale.
