“…Three of the most popular visual programming environments currently used in schools and extracurricular programs are Alice [8]; Scratch [9], [10]; and LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT-G [11]. These languages, as well as the Visual Programmer, all permit the completion of a similar task: programming behaviors of virtual or robotic characters through a graphical programming environment.…”

Abstract-Arts & Bots is an educational program that aims to broaden diversity and participation in technology by integrating arts and crafts with robotics. Arts & Bots is a flexible program that can be integrated into in-school and outof-school programs in many subject areas. This paper describes the visual programming environment developed for Arts & Bots and its goals of low barriers to entry, classroom compatibility, supporting student acquisition of computational thinking skills, and enabling complex robot behaviors. The authors also compare and contrast the programming environment with other popular visual programming environments, namely Scratch, Alice and LEGO NXT-G.

“…Alice propuso utilizar el contexto de la animación para introducir las habilidades de computación, lógica y comunicación, y los conceptos fundamentales de programación para los estudiantes en las escuelas secundarias K-12 [26]. Al principio se pensó como una herramienta para la creación rápida de prototipos de animaciones 3D, pero pronto sus creadores se dieron cuenta de su potencial como primer entorno de programación [27]. Diseñada como un lenguaje para introducir a un estudiante a la programación orientada a objetos y para enseñar los conceptos clave de programación para crear películas animadas y videojuegos simples [10].…”

Alice ® is one of the most used tools in learning programming languages, given its usefulness to acquire skills in problem solving and algorithmic thinking. This document presents the results of the analysis of the use of the Alice platform as a tool for learning programming from a literature review. We used the most common databases in the area of computer science such as ACM, IEE, among others; and taking into account a search protocol, and some criteria, 24 articles were selected. Among the findings are the effectiveness of the use of Alice as a learning resource for introduction to programming, the amount of work in English, and the weak validity of the experimental results.

“…The Phidget toolkit [19] was aimed at making tangible devices available to designers. Alice [9] was focused on lowering the threshold of entry into the world of 3D graphics and VR programming. The Designer's Outpost project found that web designers often used pens, paper, walls, and tables during the early phases of design [22].…”

The Designer's Augmented Reality Toolkit (DART) was an augmented (AR) and mixed reality (MR) authoring tool targeted at new media designers. It was released in 2003 and was heavily used by a diverse population of creators for the next several years [31]. Ten years later, we approached a group of users to collect reflections on their use of DART, the artifacts they produced, their subsequent AR/MR authoring, their thoughts on the challenges of AR/MR authoring in general, and the state of modern tools. In this paper we present the findings from in-depth interviews with these DART developers and other AR experts. Their reflections provide insights on how to successfully engage non-technologists with new media and the challenges they face during authoring, the unique requirements of new media authoring, and how modern tools are still not meeting the needs of this type of author, highlighting where additional research is needed.
