Abstract

Well constructed non-programming resources have proven invaluable in aiding students master introductory CS topics. Unfortunately, such resources are hard to identify and/or develop. A working group was convened concurrent with the ITiCSE 2000 conference to examine this issue. This paper, and an accompanying Web page (http://csis.pace.edu/~bergin/iticse2000) have therefore been developed to foster the development and distribution of resources that educators can use to introduce important introductory computer science topics without programming.
