Application of Information Technology in the evolving and advancing field of education has been a great help to academic institutions in enhancing and strengthening teaching and learning. In this study on computer-aided instruction (CAI), efforts were exerted to develop a computer-based application that could be used as a support in teaching basic C++ programming. Such an effort is driven by the continuous demand to improve the quality of education amongst higher education institutions (HEIs) in the country. Specifically, this study intended to provide a mechanism for the electronic delivery of lessons and monitoring of student’s learning progress. It also covered the assessment of the system’s level of usability. Structured analysis served as the development strategy. The final output was then evaluated for usability by its intended users which include Information Technology (IT) faculty members and students from the University of Eastern Philippines. A number of IT faculty members from other schools also served as respondents. Results showed that the system was able to deliver the lessons with the use of the specified hardware and software and that student’s learning progress was tracked continuously. Based on the evaluation, the e-learning tool has an above-average level of usability, which implies that it could be used as an adjunct in teaching and learning basic C++ programming.
