N2  - The problem of learning programming subjects, especially through distance 
learning and E-Learning, has been widely reported in literatures. Many attempts 
have been made to solve these problems. This has led to many new approaches in 
the techniques of learning of programming. One of the approaches that have been 
proposed is the use of virtual pair programming (VPP). Most of  the studies about 
VPP in distance learning or e-learning environment focus on the use of the 
synchronous mode of collaboration between learners. Not much research have been 
done about asynchronous VPP. This paper describes how we have implemented VPP 
and a research that has been carried out to study the effectiveness of asynchronous 
VPP for learning of programming. In particular, this research study the 
effectiveness of asynchronous VPP in the learning of object-oriented programming 
among students at Open University Malaysia (OUM). The result of the research has 
shown that most of the learners have given positive feedback, indicating that they 
are happy with the use of asynchronous VPP. At the same time, learners did 
recommend some extra features that could be added in making asynchronous VPP 
more enjoyable. (Authors' abstract)
