contents Programming is part of many – if not most – engineering degree programs. However, traditional introductory programming courses are often considered difficult by students. Internationally, almost a third (32.3%) of students fail their introductory computer sciences course. Consequently, the improvement of programming education will be beneficial for many students. Funded by the Hamburg Open Online University (HOOU) Project, the Engineering Education Research Group at Hamburg University of Technology is currently engaged in the development of new Open Educational Resources on programming education. In the following, we will describe how we identified the most relevant concepts to address in the materials, why we decided to use "Tutorials" instead of traditional end-of-chapter type exercises, and show an example for the new materials. We hope this paper allows us to get feedback from the education research community to further optimize our materials.
