Abstract

The iVProg4All is a visual programming tool based on forms, designed for teaching and learning programming logic and computational thinking. With iVProg4All, algorithms are created using form elements such as menus, text fields, buttons, and more. Developed following web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG 2.1), iVProg4All also includes accessibility features for blind individuals. Thus, both blind and sighted people can use the tool without the need for adaptation, making the teaching and learning of programming logic and computational thinking more inclusive.

Keywords: visual programming, blind, iVProg4All
