Hi Adam,

    The paper was interesting. Thanks for sharing.  How can I see COALA?  Is
the plugin for Eclipse available?

    UCWISE (http://ucwise.org) is another system used at Berkeley to teach
computer science, and the SAIL-BlueJ integration is being written for it.
The teacher will also be specifying unit tests/catered-feedback for each
task, similar to your system.  And it will also log
compile-errors/runtime-errors, etc and provide feedback or channel that to
the VLE to have students do follow-up activities like notes, quizzes, etc.

    It's neat to know that we're thinking (and doing) similar things- you
with Eclipse, and us with BlueJ.  Our students will be using Eclipse also,
later in the course as they become familiar with programming, so we can
learn a lot from your work.
