The following summary of education-related themes in EM indicates resources on which one of the Summer examination questions will be based.

They comprise several papers on EM and educational technology:

EM means more than adding dependency to the repertoire of programming constructs ...

• Programming-with-dependency for educational technology: Imagine-d Logo [1]
  

EM is better integrated with learning than procedural programming e.g. in Logo [2,3]

• Constructionism revisited - epistemological pluralism (cf. the online video of a seminar given at the Nottingham LSRI in November 2010)
  http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/dcs/research/em/teaching/cs405-1011/wcaccextract.pdf
  

How construals support construction ... [4]

• Integrating the roles of pupil, teacher and developer
  http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/dcs/research/em/teaching/cs405-0607/talkicalt04.pdf
  

Why this is significant as far as the nature of the learning activity is concerned [5]:

• The Experiential Framework for Learning and "Understanding forwards"
  

How this relates to our conception of computer science, and CS education [6]:

• Constructive Computer Science education
  http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/dcs/research/em/teaching/cs405-0910/webedentalkextract.pdf
  

How this agenda is linked with the broader philosophical position of constructivism [7]:

• The Promises of Constructivism
