Lee, V. C. S.; Yu, Y. T.; Tang, C. M.; Wong, T. L.; Poon, C. K. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
Many students need assistance in debugging to achieve progress when they learn to write computer programs. Face-to-face interactions with individual students to give feedback on their programs, although definitely effective in facilitating their learning, are becoming difficult to achieve with ever-growing class sizes. This paper proposes a novel…
