Content SummaryMany barriers exist for novice programmers when confronted with the C programming language, such as its low level orientation, cryptic syntax and ambiguous compiler error messages. This paper presents the design and development of a block-based visual shell for the C programming language following the recognition over recall design pattern to eliminate syntax errors and enable the effective internalization of C programming language constructs. The evaluation studies provide evidence of the effectiveness of this shell, in tutorial/lab settings without the presence of human tutorsen
