There are many educational Web-based systems for programming. Web-based systems have several advantages in assisting learners by collecting various forms of information on the server side. However, the client-side components of Web-based systems are difficult to design and implement and therefore tend to be poor compared to the server side programs. This paper describes a Web-based system that helps learners write programs that create animations. It uses SVG as the graphics format and employs a plug-in for Eclipse as the client-side component. The plug-in can cooperate with the server-side system for downloading libraries and template programs, and for submitting animations to the bulletin board system for SVG animations.
