Hi everyone,

I have recently posted here about our work on teaching Python with  
`TigerPython'.  Would it be possible to add our work also to the  
respective lists on the EDU-SIG webpage [1], please?  The webpage  
stated that any suggestions for modifications should be posted here.

Furthermore: are there any plans for updating the list of Learnign  
Environments?  It currently points to a Wiki, which comes with a note  
that these pages are being archived and any modifications are  
discouraged.  Is there another, newer page for that?

We have been working on teaching materials and our IDE for Python  
since 2012 and are still actively working on it (e.g. our latest  
academic paper has been published about two months ago), i.e. we have  
been around a while.  During that time, we have helped promote  
teaching Python at schools, particularly throughout Europe, and  
produced a lot of free and open-source teaching materials.

It would be quite helpful for us if there could be a reference back to  
our work from the `official Python site'.  Perhaps a good starting  
point would be our landing page:
https://tigerjython.ch/en

In addition, as pointed out before, we published a number of academic  
papers at ACM's SIG-CSE (Computer Science Education) conferences:

C. Bachmann et al.: WebTigerPython -- A Low-Floor High-Ceiling Python  
IDE for the Browser
https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3770762.3772670

T. Kohn & B. Manaris: Tell Me What's Wrong: A Python IDE with Error Messages
https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3328778.3366920

T. Kohn: The Error Behind The Message: Finding the Cause of Error  
Messages in Python
https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3287324.3287381

I have also written my PhD thesis on teaching Python, although it  
might be slightly out of date by now:

T. Kohn: Teaching Python Programming to Novices: Addressing  
Misconceptions and Creating a Development Environment
https://www.research-collection.ethz.ch/entities/publication/6482e149-cc42-4e7a-ae53-20205ff2fa51

Kind regards
Tobias Kohn
