Brna, Paul (2008): In Search of Narrative Interactive Learning Environments. In: Virvou, Maria and Jain, Lakhmi C. "Intelligent Interactive Systems in Knowledge-based Environments". Springer pp. 47-74

“The promise of Narrative Interactive Learning Environments is that the various notions of narrative can be harnessed to support learning in a manner that adds significantly to the effectiveness of the learning environment. The task that this chapter addresses is the identification of the paths along which researchers need to travel if we are to make the most of the insights that are currently available to us.”

Good, Judith and Brna, Paul (2004): Program comprehension and authentic measurement: a scheme for analysing descriptions of programs. In International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 61 (2) pp. 169-185

“This paper describes an analysis scheme which was developed to probe the comprehension of computer programming languages by students learning to program. The scheme operates on free-form program summaries, i.e. textual descriptions of a program which are produced in response to minimal instructions by the researcher/experimenter. The scheme has been applied to descriptions of programs written in various languages, and it is felt that the scheme has the potential to be applied to languages of markedly different types (e.g. procedural, object-oriented, event-driven). The paper first discusses the basis for the scheme, before describing the scheme in detail. It then presents examples of the scheme's application, and concludes with a discussion of some open issues.”

“ Computer programs emerge as the outcome of complex human processes of cognition, communication and negotiation, which serve to establish the meaningful embedding of the computer system in its intended use context. ”
