Hacking and Making at Time-Bounded Events: Current Trends and Next Steps in Research and Event Design
CSCW '17 Companion: Companion of the 2017 ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work and Social ComputingTime-bounded collaborative events in which teams work together under intense time pressure are becoming increasingly popular. While hackathons, that is, competitive overnight coding events, are one of the more prevalent examples of this phenomenon, ...
An evaluation of students’ motivation in computer-supported collaborative learning of programming concepts
Highlights- This is the first study on motivation using CSCL for programming education.
- Students are more motivated by using CIF+MoCAS than by collaborative learning.
- CIF and MoCAS are associated with high levels of intrinsic and extrinsic ...
AbstractMotivation is a very important factor for successful instruction. This factor is especially relevant in collaborative learning contexts, where social interaction plays an important role. In this paper we present an evaluation of motivation in 139 ...
