Three key aspects of efficient programming education were identified: integrated development environments, collaboration through pair programming, and assessment with feedback methods. A novel platform designed for novice students was developed to embed an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and live pair programming in a web browser. The platform was tested by 192 student volunteers from an introductory programming course in the first year of a bachelor’s degree in economics and management. The results indicate that it was useable and group work provided increased grades. The solution was developed mainly as a proof of concept but can be easily adapted to other courses.</p> Collaborative Coding Pair Programming Peer-to-peer Program- ming Platform Web Based Learning Web IDE Dewey 025.06/650 Dewey 025.063 Springer Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems 769 118 Information Science Institute S6 13 Centre universitaire d'informatique 0D3 false Methodologies and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning, Workshops - 13th International Conference Kubincová, Z., Caruso, F., Kim, Te., Ivanova, M., Lancia, L., Pellegrino, M.A. 16861605-ebd3-420b-b848-c42c16a8c13e Proceedings chapter (Published version) Public splnproc1703_mac_220523.pdf 928681 application/pdf OA OTHER Private 2024-08-30 7db8f220fae5b7e227f8a43f20faf23b8c7c32f576f377e89718d8475d803197 openAccess Faculté d'économie et de management / Information Science Institute Centres et instituts / Centre universitaire d'informatique
