  • Abstract
    In this work, we report our initial results based on an innovative approach that we started last year for delivering an introductory computer science course. The teaching approach consisted of a team teaching, a blended delivery system, recorded lecture retrieval capability, readiness assessment activities, objective assessment of student progress, and cooperative learning through team work. During our last delivery, we added post-assessments and results related to this addition are presented in the paper. Our intent is to present a preliminary evaluation of the aforementioned approach as well as future direction and adjustments.
