An Environment for Collecting Fine-Grained Development Records to Help with Programming Exercise

In order to cultivate human resources with an advanced skill of software development, it is necessary to make the learner acquire the programming technology as the basis at an early point and with certainty. Programming education is conducted with a focus on exercise, and it is often the case that the result is made submitted as a report, in order to evaluate the degree of fixation for the knowledge by the exercise. By using the report, one can check the final result of the exercise, but it is difficult for the educator to know the process by the learner to complete making the software, or on its way, to face what kind of problems are faced and to cope with them. In this study, in conjunction with Eclipse, a learning environment to support software development exercise is constructed by collecting fine-grained record of learner´s programming in real time and by storing it to the server connected to the network.
