First-year computer science university courses commonly exceed the 1,750-student mark. This rising demand for higher education leads to an increased workload for instructors. Open-ended textual exercises facilitate the comprehension of problem-solving ...

On a daily basis, the general public uses online services without any knowledge of the concepts these services rely on. Even though this is fine most of the time, there are situations where such obliviousness puts the users in trouble. We aim to ...

As data grow both in size and in connectivity, the interest to use graph databases in industry has been growing rapidly. However, there has been little research on graph database education. In response to the need to introduce college students to graph ...

Computer science (CS) has been a growing and increasingly lucrative field for some time. The demand of job applicants in this field, especially in industry, are high. Yet, the supply of CS candidates to fill these positions are low. One notable reason ...

Niñas Pro, which runs C++ workshops for beginner programmers, uses automated feedback tools to give students quick feedback about their code in class. However, many students do not complete exercises with the tools used currently, as they do not know ...

In this study, an instrument was designed to measure social factors which might predict student success (n=95). The instrument was administered to computer science undergraduates at a public research university in the Northeast USA. The instrument was a ...

We developed the How to Train Your Robot curriculum to empower middle school students to become conscientious users and creators of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As AI becomes more embedded in our daily lives, all members of society should have the ...

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become increasingly prevalent in our lives. Because of this, individuals of all ages need to be aware of how AI works. To introduce middle school students to AI concepts, we built a text classifier ...

In recent years, programming has witnessed a shift towards using standard libraries as a black box. However, there has not been a synchronous development of tools that can help demonstrate the working of such libraries in general programs, which poses ...

With many Universities and Institutions moving toward online learning during the pandemic, content delivery and assessment become a new challenge for many educators. It comes as no surprise that many tools aimed at delivering computer-based assessments ...

This poster describes an NSF S-STEM project that provides scholarships and student support S3 for computer science, physics, and math (CSPM) majors at a private comprehensive liberal arts college with an undergraduate enrollment of approximately 1800 ...

The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed "emergency remote teaching" across education globally, leading to the closure of institutions across all settings, from schools through to universities. We draw on the quantitative and qualitative findings from a large-...

Broadening participation in computing is a key priority for both the tech industry and academia. However, high rates of attrition from Ph.D. programs represent a tremendous loss of talent, potential, and resources that stifles efforts to diversify ...

This poster shares the progress related to an evaluation of computer science degree professional body accreditation, framed through an ongoing national review in the United Kingdom (UK). While this review substantially focuses on the UK, other countries,...

Disciplinary practices are processes and skills applied for sensemaking, reasoning and problem solving. Studies have shown that experts are able to spontaneously apply these skills but novices have difficulty due to various reasons. The aim of this ...

The efforts for incorporating cultural competence in computer science curriculum will not only benefit the retention of marginalized students, but also, more importantly, educate students with a better understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion ...

Online learning is becoming an essential pillar of today's education system. As reliance on this mode of education grows, so does the need for security in remote examinations and remote proctoring. One obstacle to remote proctoring is the difficulty in ...

The MIPS assembly language is a popular choice for teaching assembly programming in Computer Organization courses. While there are emulator programs available for programming and running MIPS assembly language programs, they do not provide the ...

Around the United States, educators are teaching new computer science (CS) education standards, including in Tennessee, which announced its first K-8 CS standards in 2018. In Tennessee, the standards are now the official guidelines for CS education at ...

This poster reports on year one of a three-year NSF-funded Research Practitioner Partnership (RPP) to develop a K-8 pipeline for computer science (CS) and computational thinking (CT) education within two rural school districts in Eastern Kentucky : ...
