Davi Bernardo Silva; Deborah Ribeiro Carvalho; Carlos N. Silla – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
Throughout a programming course, students develop various source code tasks. Using these tasks to track students' progress can provide clues to the strengths and weaknesses found in each learning topic. This practice allows the teacher to intervene in learning in the first few weeks of class and maximize student gains. However, the biggest…

Allen, Oliver; Downs, Xavier; Varoy, Elliot; Luxton-Reilly, Andrew; Giacaman, Nasser – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2022
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is not only an integral part of computing degrees but also a requirement in non-computing majors such as engineering. Understanding OOP concepts can be difficult for novice programmers, and often leads to the development of misconceptions. This is exacerbated when the discipline requires students to learn a…

Cárdenas-Cobo, Jesennia; Puris, Amilkar; Novoa-Hernández, Pavel; Galindo, José Angel; Benavides, David – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2020
Learning computer programming is a challenging process. Among the current approaches for overcoming this challenge, visual programming languages (VPLs), such as Scratch, have shown very promising results for beginners. Interestingly, some higher education institutions have started to use VPLs to introduce basic programming concepts, mainly in CS1…

dos Santos Lopes, Maísa Soares; Gomes, Iago Pacheco; Trindade, Roque M. P.; da Silva, Alzira F.; de C. Lima, Antonio C. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2017
Remote robotics laboratories have been successfully used for engineering education. However, few of them use mobile robots to to teach computer science. This article describes a mobile robot Control and Programming Environment (CPE) and its pedagogical applications. The system comprises a remote laboratory for robotics, an online programming tool,…

Derntl, M.; Neumann, S.; Griffiths, D.; Oberhuemer, P. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2012
IMS Learning Design (LD) is the only available interoperability specification in the area of technology enhanced learning that allows the definition and orchestration of complex activity flows and resource environments in a multirole setting. IMS LD has been available since 2003, and yet it has not been widely adopted either by practitioners or by…

Zemirline, N.; Bourda, Y.; Reynaud, C. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2012
Today, there is a real challenge to enable personalized access to information. Several systems have been proposed to address this challenge including Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHSs). However, the specification of adaptation strategies remains a difficult task for creators of such systems. In this paper, we consider the problem of the definition…

Amelung, M.; Krieger, K.; Rosner, D. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2011
Assessment is an essential element in learning processes. It is therefore not unsurprising that almost all learning management systems (LMSs) offer support for assessment, e.g., for the creation, execution, and evaluation of multiple choice tests. We have designed and implemented generic support for assessment that is based on assignments that…
