This poster focuses on workshops to support students' soft and selfreflection skills during collaborative learning. These workshops intend to help reduce anxiety during group work and to promote inclusive and equitable collaborative learning ...

Debugging is an important aspect of programming. Most programming languages have some features and tools to facilitate debugging. As the debugging process is also frustrating, it requires good scaffolding, in which a debugger can be a useful tool [3]. ...

It is challenging to retain computing students through their first stage of undergraduate education. Attrition is high, with many transferring courses or dropping out. This poster explores preliminary findings from an action research project improving ...

Research on mental model representations developed by programmers during parallel program comprehension is important for informing and advancing teaching methods including model based learning and visualizations. However, there is a significant lack of ...

By 2030 greenhouse gas emissions should be reduced by at least 55%. Despite hardware becoming more energy-efficient (Koomey's law), the ever-increasing reliance on computer technology has increased the energy usage due to ICT significantly.

In software ...

This panel convenes four educators, each from different institutions and each with experience managing group projects. Their expertise spans topics including: peer assessment and peer evaluation; entrepreneurship; transdisciplinarity; ...

Introductory courses usually only teach a small subset of a programming language and its library, in order to focus on the general concepts rather than overwhelm students with the syntactic, semantic and API minutiae of a particular language.

This paper ...

We had an outdated, unsuitable pair of courses covering software engineering over an academic year, which were rewritten last summer. Out went the plan-driven project approach of GANNT charts, and a belief that 'better estimates' would save the day. In ...

For software testing teachers interested in extending their CS students' experience, we propose an innovative solution that adds two, less traditional-yet fascinating-ingredients: hardware and mistakes. Highlighted here are a few original components, ...

Recursion is a fundamental concept in computer science education, but many students struggle to understand its underlying principles and common implementation strategies. This study aims to investigate the most common misconceptions that novice students ...
