We are developing a programming education support tool pgtracer utilizing fill-in-the-blank questions.Pgtracer operates on Moodle, and provides questions to the student that some parts are masked in a pair of program and trace table.A question consists of four XML files representing a program, a trace table and two types of masks for program and trace table.We propose teacher's function of pgtracer in this paper: question editing and data analysis functions.The question editing function includes automatic generation function of XML files representing program and trace table from a given C++ source program and input data.Pgtracer collects student's log and provides data analysis function from the various viewpoints of student and question.
