Abstract
An important part of helping learners detect, repair and avoid software errors is providing semantic support for learners while they manipulate their code. Unfortunately, usability aspects of both textual and direct-manipulation environments limit their ability to provide such support. Preliminary findings from exploratory studies are discussed, and several design requirements for a more flexible and supportive programming environment are identified
