We are working to develop and assess a Concept Inventory (CI) for Introductory Programming courses (CS1).

The current status of our research is:

• A Concept Inventory in C language is available.

  • You can create and submit the CI to your students through this website.

• We are currently working in the Python and JAVA versions.
