Abstract: This paper proposes the framework of a Virtual Book (V-Book) model for learning computer programming. The framework attempts to provide a dynamic and versatile environment for individual learning as well as for peer learning through the internet. There are three important entities in the V-Book model, namely the content component, the assessment component and the communication component. The content component will be implemented in the form of a computer assisted learning media. The assessment component will be implemented in the form of multiple-choices assessment and computer program assessment. Both of these assessments are online so that the learner will receive real time feedback. The communication component provides a platform which will be implemented in the form of a number of communication channels. These channels can be a chat room, demo room, whiteboard and/or a forum. A prototype of the V-Book has been developed for the purpose of studying the feasibility and operations of the V-Book model.
