Abstract
In this paper, we describe the development of an interactive learning environment that can be used to improve educational outcomes by engaging users during the learning process. The system adopts a problem solving-based pedagogical technique and allows users to learn about a subject area by utilizing a concept map-based knowledge model. We also discuss the role of such a system in the introductory computer science curriculum and describe a plan for using this system in the introductory programming course at our institution.
