Student learning experiences at undergraduate education levels can be enhanced by making use of innovative learning technologies. These technologies are not restricted to enriching course content alone and can also stimulate and encourage students to participate in class discussions and assignments. In this paper, the use of Alice © is described to encourage collaborative learning and how this innovative learning tool can enhance students’ motivation to gain computer knowledge. The research findings are supported with outcomes from student questionnaires. The research found that integrating Alice © into undergraduate education will be beneficial for advancing computer literacy and Information Systems (IS) competence.
