Abstract
We propose a new integrated programming environment, objectKarel, for teaching the object-oriented programming paradigm. Its main features are: a series of e-lessons, a special kind of structure editor, runtime error detection, program animation and recordability of students´ actions. Finally, we describe the results of a pilot use of objectKarel to teach object-oriented programming to undergraduate students.
