Abstract—The goal of this study is to develop a learning support system for algorithmic thinking for novices. The basic module has been implemented and has been used in computer science courses at some universities. This paper describes some educational functions of this system. The main features of this system are 1) the teacher can control the usage of control elements for developing algorithms based on his educational philosophy, 2) a simple task-answer management system is included and 3) eAssesment functions based on the Student-Problem table method are implemented.

Index Terms—Algorithm describing tool, algorithmic thinking, education for beginners, educational practice.
