Hsu, Ting-Chia; Abelson, Hal; Patton, Evan; Chen, Shih-Chu; Chang, Hsuan-Ning – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2021
In order to promote the practice of co-creation, a real-time collaboration (RTC) version of the popular block-based programming (BBP) learning environment, MIT App Inventor (MAI), was proposed and implemented. RTC overcomes challenges related to non-collocated group work, thus lowering barriers to cross-region and multi-user collaborative software…

Antonio Byrd – College Composition and Communication, 2020
In the past decade, computer programming has been called the new literacy necessary for everyday life. However, discussion on democratizing coding literacy can too often center the experiences of K-12 learners and undergraduates, leaving adult learners' experiences with coding literacy unexamined. If employers come to value computer programming as…

Luik, Piret; Suviste, Reelika; Lepp, Marina; Palts, Tauno; Tõnisson, Eno; Säde, Merilin; Papli, Kaspar – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
Learners who enrol in massive open online courses (MOOCs) have different backgrounds and tend to have different motivations than learners in traditional courses. Based on value-expectancy theory, an instrument was developed to measure motivation for enrolling in a programming MOOC. A study with 1229 adult participants in Estonian-language…

Alario-Hoyos, Carlos; Estévez-Ayres, Iria; Pérez-Sanagustín, Mar; Delgado Kloos, Carlos; Fernández-Panadero, Carmen – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2017
MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) have changed the way in which OER (Open Educational Resources) are bundled by teachers and consumed by learners. MOOCs represent an evolution towards the production and offering of structured quality OER. Many institutions that were initially reluctant to providing OER have, however, joined the MOOC wave.…
