It is formative assessment; the aim being to foster a problem solving approach to programming. We have discovered the following advantages with computer assisted assessment in our programming course: the students get plenty of practice in programming, they get fast feedback and can easily move onto...

My introduction to programming was learningBASICon anOric 1in the mid-1980s. Back then BASIC was the most common beginner’s language. Other languages that I dabbled with in the late 80s until mid-90s were Pascal and C, but I never used them in any professional capacity, and I didn’t...
Problem solvingEducational computer games studies experienced rapid growth due to the belief that games can offer various learning benefits being highly popular among younger generations. Programming is considered a challenging subject by students and teachers, consequently students feel less motivated to ...
programming problems. Our results show that personalized hints can significantly reduce student’s effort to get correct solutions. In addition, personalized hints can provide students with an understanding of problem solving similar to when using test cases. However, students who used the program ...
Teaching an introductory programming course to first-year students has long been a challenge for many college instructors. The COVID-19 pandemic, which cau
introductory programming assignments and observed: (1) There are different algorithmic strategies, with varying levels of efficiency, for solving a given problem. These different strategies merit different feedback. (2) The same algorithmic strategy can be implemented in countless...
The serious game Codescape is developed at the RWTH University and used in several introductory programming courses with a total of 3000 students per year. The game supports the simultaneous use of several programming languages and is modular in structur
