Visualization of data structures and algorithms is a valuable learning aid for novice programmers. However, existing techniques show the visualization of code after compiling the program, rather than during the development process. To address this, we present SupportArr, a tool that helps in the visualization of arrays in C/C++ programming languages. The core idea is to provide an in-built IDE support for novice programmers to visualize the statements in code without executing the program. We conducted a preliminary experiment with 23 novice programmers and got a promising result from 84% of the participants.","PeriodicalId":153823,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 20th International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115318095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, with the advance of artificial intelligence technology, the real time assessments of body gestures become feasible. With the proposed digital reality, learns can simultaneously see their performance and get assessments and corrections in real time.

The implications are especially strong for privacy, as ML approaches provide unprecedented opportunities to make use of collected data. Thus, education on cybersecurity and AI is needed. To investigate how AI and cybersecurity should be taught together, we look at previous studies on cybersecurity MOOCs by conducting a systematic literature review. The initial search resulted in 72 items and after screening for only peer-reviewed publications on cybersecurity online courses, 15 studies remained. Three of the studies concerned multiple cybersecurity MOOCs whereas 12 focused on individual courses. The number of published work evaluating specific cybersecurity MOOCs was found to be small compared to all available cybersecurity MOOCs. Analysis of the studies revealed that cybersecurity education is, in almost all cases, organised based on the topic instead of used tools, making it difficult for learners to find focused information on AI applications in cybersecurity. Furthermore, there is a gab in academic literature on how AI applications in cybersecurity should be taught in online courses.","PeriodicalId":153823,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 20th International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT)","volume":"183 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123288101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simultaneously music teaching in K-12 education is losing relevance and popularity. Yet, music theory contains logical structures which are in many regards similar to program code. Additionally the digitization of music production requires composers to effectively use digital music production tools and associated technology. We investigate the opportunities technology-assisted music composing offers for teaching 21st skills and programming in K-12 education through expert interviews with professional music composers (n=4) and programmers (n=5). Analysis of the similarities and differences in the thought processes between creating software and composing music revealed the latter to have potential for teaching the following thinking skills present in K-12 educational curricula: modularity, loops and conditionals, data structures, input/output and software design. Additionally implicit learning benefits on increasing technical know-how, cooperative skills and designthinking were discovered.","PeriodicalId":153823,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 20th International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122727996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we juxtapose a Web application and a mixed reality application of the same anatomy course. We highlight where differences need to be considered and which modules can be used in both environments, e.g. authentication and gamification. With the practical knowledge presented here, the design of learning experiences on the Web and in mixed reality can be enhanced.

Lecture designing for online education systems become complex because (i) students are having differences in their learning ecosystem and (ii) there is very less interaction between students and course instructors. This research proposes a strategy named \"lecture-breakup\" which allows online educators to design quality lectures. The validity of \"lecture-breakup\" is proved using a survey.
