Programming Learning Difficulties: How Can Naive Users Create Human-Machine Interaction Scenarios?

The work presented in this paper is part of PRIM project [8] which aims to enable naive users - people with no programming skills - to create human-machine interaction scenarios. This paper presents a literature review which objectives are to understand why learning computer programming and algorithms is such a complex activity, and how visual programing languages, learning tools, digital tools designed for non-developers and their features can inspire the design of a human-machine interaction scenarios authoring tool, in order to propose a series of recommendations for the design of a human-machine interaction scenarios authoring tool.
