Their design is difficult because students must do more than solve a problem. They must also, for example, correctly sequence mutations, define loop invariants, and avoid infinite loops. Another difficulty students face is making while loops iterative. This issue is commonly ignored in programming textbooks for beginners despite being relevant to future courses such as Computer Architecture, Programming Languages, and Algorithms. The difficulty with making while loops iterative revolves around the elimination of delayed operations. This requires introducing beginners to the concept of control. This article presents a novel transformation recipe for beginners to make while loops iterative. The transformation recipe guides students on how to accumulate control information on a stack to eliminate delayed operations in the body of loops. In addition, this article presents descriptive statistics obtained from students on the maiden voyage of the new design recipe. The empirical data suggests that students feel that writing iterative while loops is hard, but enlightening. In addition, the empirical data suggests that students have a very favorable opinion about designing while loops.","PeriodicalId":262503,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th Computer Science Education Research Conference","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124415014","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}

On the other hand, this flexibility might provide convenience and promote learning. With the advancement of technology and the change of habits for the use of the traditional communication platform, educators need to explore practical ways to communicate. This paper presents the results of an investigation into Slack's use as a communication platform to enhance collaborative learning and online activities. We use messages from Slack channels and survey data used in the course to investigate the effectiveness of the communication process between students, instructors, and learning assistants and to what extent students believe the tool supports reaching their goals. The most common form of online collaboration was the need for clarifications, a deeper understanding of course topics, assessments, and sharing their programming knowledge. Teachers worked towards achieving their goals through collaborative development of programming skills by asking questions and sharing competence. A smaller number of teachers were involved in contribution, which was then used by the majority. This paper summarizes the author's findings on Slack's use as a communication platform in an online flexible learning trajectory course.","PeriodicalId":262503,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th Computer Science Education Research Conference","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127843549","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}

Cloud platforms and services have become the predominant choice for any real-world storage and computation intensive applications such as Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI), making it a must-have skill for undergraduates across many disciplines. Cloud technology, services and applications are evolving rapidly and it is challenging to design an academic syllabus that encompasses a comprehensive and up-to-date body of knowledge in an engaging way. This paper describes our approach to designing a new module to provide a broad overview of Cloud Computing and practical skills in developing solutions using services offered by a cloud platform, in this case Amazon Web Services (AWS) for Computing undergraduate students at Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU), UK. We describe the rationale for the syllabus design and outline the lectures, practical activities and assessments that were developed. The practicals were designed to be executed on the AWS platform as bite-sized tasks providing hands-on learning to reinforce prior lecture content. The first syllabus delivery at GCU shows that the students performed well, found the content engaging and easy to assimilate, and had a fulfilling learning experience. The issues involved in using `live' cloud platforms for teaching are also evaluated.","PeriodicalId":262503,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 9th Computer Science Education Research Conference","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115699337","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}
