There is indeed a course at Middlesex, I was planning to add a link to the wiki but I kept postponing. We have described the course in a paper published last year, "A Racket-Based Robot to Teach First-Year Computer Science", http://www.rmnd.net/pubs/els14.pdf. I've added a link to this paper in the wiki, instead of linking the quite generic public page about the course (http://www.mdx.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/computer-science).
