Extending CRC cards into a complete design process

We have students understand, enjoy, and actually use CRC cards in the introductory object-oriented design process that we teach. We attempted to teach a more sophisticated design process that would grow upon the students’ interest in CRC Cards, and we provided a design tool to support that process. We had limited success, and our experience points to issues to consider when introducing design tools into computer science classrooms.
