Blended learning has become a dominant educational model in higher education in the UK and worldwide, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic. This is further enriched with accompanying pedagogical changes, such as strengthened…
Machine learning (ML) course for undergraduates face challenges in assessing student learning and providing practical exposure. Group project-based learning, an increasingly popular form of experiential learning in CS education, encounters…
In many schools, courses are given in sections. Prior to timetabling students need to be assigned to individual sections. We give a hybrid approximation sectioning algorithm that minimizes the number of edges (potential conflicts) in the…
Science communication skills are considered essential learning objectives for undergraduate physics students. However, high enrollment and limited class resources present significant barriers to providing students ample opportunities to…
Hackathons and similar time-bounded events have become a popular form of collaboration. They are commonly organized as in-person events during which teams engage in intense collaboration over a short period of time to complete a project…
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a strong effect on higher education institutions with the closure of classroom teaching activities. In this unprecedented crisis, of global proportion, educators and families had to deal with…
As computer systems become more and more complex, software and tools lag more and more behind. This is especially true for scientific software that often demands high performance, and thus needs to take advantage of parallelisms, memory…
A strong sense of classroom community is associated with many positive learning outcomes and is a critical contributor to undergraduate students' persistence in STEM, particularly for women and students of color. This chapter describes a…
The ubiquity of technology in our daily lives and the economic stability of the technology sector in recent years, especially in areas with a computer science footing, has led to an increase in computer science enrollment in many parts of…
Virtual laboratories are the new online educational trend for communicating to students practical skills of science. In this paper we report on a comparison of techniques for familiarizing distance learning students with a 3D virtual…
This article describes the authors' teaching experience in flipping the class of a basic undergraduate mathematics course Introductory Linear Algebra. We utilize a full-featured free electronic textbook, online lecture notes, an intranet…
Background. The widespread adoption of hybrid work following the COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally transformed software development practices, introducing new challenges in communication and collaboration as organizations transition from…
Detailed feedback on courses and lecture content is essential for their improvement and also serves as a tool for reflection. However, feedback methods are often only used sporadically, especially in mass courses, because collecting and…
As an increasing number of academic conferences transition to the online sphere, new event paradigms must be explored and developed to better utilise the unique multimedia opportunities offered by the virtual world. With this in mind, we…
Educating students from diverse disciplinary backgrounds is challenging. In this article, we report on our interdisciplinary course coding interaction and design (Coding IxD), which is designed for computer science and design students…
Social computing is the study of how technology shapes human social interactions. This topic has become increasingly relevant to secondary school students (ages 11--18) as more of young people's everyday social experiences take place…
The article reveals the experience of organizing blended learning for geography students using Google Classroom, and discloses its potential uses in the study of geography. For the last three years, the authors have tested such inclass and…
Adaptive remote instruction has led to important lessons for the future, including rediscovery of known pedagogical principles in new contexts and new insights for supporting remote learning. Studying one computer science department that…
While the literature presents various advantages of using blended learning, policymakers must identify the barriers and challenges faced by students that may cripple their online learning experience. Understanding these barriers can help…
Technology enables a more sustainable and universally accessible educational model. However, technology has brought a paradox into students' lives: it helps them engage in learning activities, but it is also a source of distraction. During…
