In computer science undergraduate programs, the first course often focuses on elementary computer programming. However, students’ backgrounds can be diverse, leading to challenges in understanding the course material. In this presentation, we discuss our initial steps to improve elementary programming instruction by using instructional videos. A team of three content creators has developed a series of instructional videos, covering forty different programming skills. These videos span various topics, from creating and running basic Python programs to understanding and creating functions. To assist elementary programming students, we plan to integrate these videos with PLACEments, an adaptive assessment and remediation system designed to help students bridge knowledge gaps. If a student answers a question incorrectly, a relevant video is provided as support. In this poster, we present the findings of an assessment of the instructional videos. The initial results are promising.
