  abstract =     "Teaching introductory programming can be a challenging
                 task. Students can become too concerned with learning
                 syntax at the expense of more general conceptual
                 understanding. Distance education students in
                 particular often have problems as the difficulty of the
                 course content is compounded by the problems of
                 isolation from other students and their tutor. Although
                 instructional strategies for emphasising conceptual
                 knowledge are well known for face-to-face instruction,
                 there has been little attempt to apply them to the
                 external situation. This paper describes a
                 supplementary package for external students designed to
                 address some of these problems. The package has been
                 used for two semesters and feedback from students
                 indicates that they find it a valuable resource.",
