  abstract =     "This paper describes key features of a new multimedia
                 CD-ROM pack produced by television makers in
                 collaboration with computer science educators --- by
                 the BBC for the Open University Computing Department.
                 The pack, The Object Shop, forms an early component of
                 an undergraduate course which introduces
                 object-oriented computing and software development to
                 students new to computing. Building on the results of
                 empirical evaluation, The Object Shop has been designed
                 to help students with no programming experience to
                 understand core object programming concepts. Throughout
                 the CD-ROM, video, animated graphics and an underlying
                 object-oriented simulation of a virtual shopping
                 environment provide an accessible introduction to the
                 central ideas of object-oriented programming. The key
                 power of the multimedia approach is that the
                 student-user is able to gain a sound operational
                 understanding of concepts before learning the details
                 of programming code or syntax. Users can continually
                 monitor their progress through a series of task-based,
                 assessed exercises.",
