About Sense
Sense was developed in 2007 by the Open University in the UK. It was created to support the teaching of introductory programming and computational thinking, particularly for students with no prior coding experience. The visual, block-based interface aimed to simplify the learning process and make programming more accessible.
Strengths of Sense included its user-friendly, visual interface and suitability for beginners in programming. Weaknesses involved limited scalability for more advanced programming tasks and a smaller community compared to other platforms. Competitors included Scratch, Alice, and Blockly, which also offered visual programming environments targeting educational use.
