We analyze the impact of deadline policies on student submission timeliness and success in a self-paced online programming course. The course is for learning a second language (C) after Java or Python and assumes some knowledge of data structures. It ...

Time management skills are crucial aspects of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) that significantly influence students’ academic success. However, assessing these skills poses a considerable challenge. In contrast, online learning environments generate ...

This paper examines how teams manage temporal ambivalence, or the simultaneous and conflicting perceptions of time as a resource, including how much time has passed and whether there is enough of it left. Team members’ time perceptions influence how a ...

While the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the crucial importance of Self-Regulated Learning (SRL), many studies have indicated a lack of programs that provide training for both K-12 students and their teachers, who play a central role in training and ...

The rapid development of mobile Internet promotes the rise of quantified-self. Time management is an important part of quantified-self. Users quantify their time and realize time management through using time management apps. Based on the unified ...

In past work, time management interventions involving prompts, alerts, and planning tools have successfully nudged students in online courses, leading to higher engagement and improved performance. However, few studies have investigated the effectiveness ...

While voice-controllable Intelligent Personal Assistants (IPAs) have become widespread in recent years, they remain primarily reactive with rather constrained calendaring capabilities. Anticipating more adaptive and complex assistants in the future, we ...

Students often struggle with time management. They delay work on assignments for too long and/or allocate too little time for the tasks given to them. This negatively impacts their performance, increases stress, and even leads some to switch majors. As ...

Users often turn to subscription video on demand (SVOD) platforms for entertainment. However, these platforms sometimes employ manipulative tactics that undermine a user's sense of agency over time and content choice to increase their share of a user's ...

There is an increase in the adoption of flipped classroom pedagogy for introductory programming (CS1) courses. In a flipped course, students watch the content videos and complete an accountability quiz before the class, then do active learning ...

Course exercises are typically given so that the time it takes to finish them fits in the time constraints of the academic system. Exercises come with deadlines that are considered to help students plan their schedules and consequently help get the ...

Teachers often preach for their students to start working on assignments early. There is even a fair amount of scientific evidence that starting early is beneficial for learning. In this work, we investigate students’ time management behavior in a ...

Time management planning (TMP) is a practice where people plan what they intend to accomplish and when in a given day. The literature indicates behaviors associated with TMP, but not how people specifically engage in them or how technology is involved. ...

Intuitively, it seems plausible that students who start their work earlier and work on more days than their peers should perform better in any course. But does the early bird really catch the worm? In this article, we examine introductory programming ...

Circadian rhythms are the cycles of our internal clock that play a key role in governing when we sleep and when we are active. A related concept is chronotype, which is a person's natural tendency toward activity at certain times of day and typically ...

Programming assignments are a common form of assessment in introductory courses and often require substantial work to complete. Students must therefore plan and manage their time carefully, especially leading up to published deadlines. Although time ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) consists of embedded sensors that transmit events over a wireless network. Complex event processing provides powerful abstractions to aggregate and analyze relationships among event streams in real time, which can improve ...

This demo will present the implementation of an A.I. powered web application designed to assist students with creation of a homework and study schedule. The intent of this project is to use key principles from Self-Regulated Learning and Cognitive Load ...

Application development for Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) is challenging, because the wireless network and the devices introduce latencies that vary continuously along with the load, status, or environmental conditions of the infrastructure. Reactive ...

Previous research has found that people often make time estimation errors in their daily planning at work. However, there is limited insight on the types of estimation errors found in different knowledge work tasks. This one-day diary study with 20 ...
