Saltz, Jeffrey; Skirpan, Michael; Fiesler, Casey; Gorelick, Micha; Yeh, Tom; Heckman, Robert; Dewar, Neil; Beard, Nathan – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2019
This article establishes and addresses opportunities for ethics integration into Machine-learning (ML) courses. Following a survey of the history of computing ethics and the current need for ethical consideration within ML, we consider the current state of ML ethics education via an exploratory analysis of course syllabi in computing programs. The…

Domínguez, César; Jaime, Arturo; Heras, Jónathan; García-Izquierdo, Francisco J. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2019
This study analyzes the impact of adding a review exercises module to an online tool used in a software engineering degree program. The objective of the module is to promote students' self-learning effort to improve their performance. We also intend to determine if this new feature has any effect on the amount of code copies detected in lab…

Yuan, Xiaohong; Vega, Percy; Qadah, Yaseen; Archer, Ricky; Yu, Huiming; Xu, Jinsheng – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2010
Using animated visualization tools has been an important teaching approach in computer science education. We have developed three visualization and animation tools that demonstrate various information security concepts and actively engage learners. The information security concepts illustrated include: packet sniffer and related computer network…
