In this paper, we describe a pilot study of EarSketch, a computational remixing approach to
introductory computer science, in a formal academic computing course at the high school …

There is little argument that creating experiences for students that will increase student
success and retention is a goal that is shared by anyone teaching courses. In computing …

We present the results of an interview study investigating student experiences in two online
introductory computer science courses. Our theoretical approach is situated at the …

This paper has two parts: first a brief tutorial on Android OS and then we comment on our
experience teaching a first offering of this material. The application in the tutorial is based on …

Much work already exists on algorithm visualization-the graphical representation of an
algorithm's behavior-and its benefits for student learning. Visualization, however, offers …

Computer science, particularly in the United States, continues to suffer from
underrepresentation by women and students of color. Increasingly, evidence suggests that …

Using robots in introductory computer science classes has recently become a popular
method of increasing student interest in computer science. This paper describes the …

We present the design choices we made to develop a multi-robot testbed to advance
robotics programming education and research. We addressed the following criteria in …

Much work has been done in the area of real-time algorithm visualization, in which a
program produces a graphical representation of its behavior as it executes. In this lightning …

Human society is rapidly growing into knowledge society, which is based on all-increasing
use of Information Technology (IT). Rapid development of IT technology has posed before …
