Abstract

Learning computer programming today is still difficult at any age. However, several studies have been done to encourage learning computer programming in a ubiquitous environment. In this paper, we identify the requirements needed to support ubiquitous learning in existing software tools for teaching and learning computer programming to children of age between 4–10 years old. Twenty two tools were analysed and contrasted with five known characteristics of ubiquitous learning. Permanency, accessibility, immediacy, interactivity and context-awareness are the five mentioned characteristics. They are each evaluated and elaborated in the study carried out. On an end note, we highly recommend to add ubiquitous learning characteristics in children’s programming tools.
