| dc.description.abstract | Development software is one of the courses that first year students studying towards a Diploma in Financial Studies enrol for. This course contains an appreciable amount of RMCOBOL programming. Past experience is indicative of the fact that students seem to have difficulty programming in RMCOBOL. This paper looks at some of the problems experienced by these students and describes COBIE, a Cobol Integrate Environment, developed to assist students overcome these problems. Furthermore, the paper provides a description of the students experience with COBIE. Attention is also given to the effect that a student's learning style may have on the difficulty experienced by a student in using COBIE. Finally, ways in which COBIE can be extended to meet the needs of novice computer programmers is examined. | en |
