“…JAssess [35], a tool in which compilation is performed automatically, also misses the first requirement as no further automatic feedback beyond compiler messages is provided to students. The second requirement is not fulfilled by tools such as C-doku [36] with only mini fill-in-the-gap tasks. However, this requirement also brought up border cases such as the systems INCOM [37] and J-LATTE [38] -both have pre-structured input fields, however, provide all freedoms regarding the algorithm to the student and are, therefore, included.…”

Using grading and feedback systems in the context of learning and teaching programming is quite common. During the last 20 to 40 years research results on several hundred systems and approaches have been published. Existing papers may tell researchers what works well in terms of educational support and how to make a grading and feedback system stable, extensible, secure, or sustainable. However, finding a solid basis for such kind of research is hard due to the vast amount of publications from a very diverse community. Hardly any recent systematic review includes data from more than 100 systems (most include less than 30). Hence, the authors started an endeavor to build a corpus of all task-based grading and feedback systems for learning and teaching programming that deal with source code and have been published in recent years. The intention is to provide the community with a solid basis for their research. The corpus is also designed to be updated and extended by the community with future systems. This paper describes the process of building the corpus and presents some meta-analysis that shed light on the involved research communities.

“…Appropriately designed computer learning environments can provide learners with great and unique opportunities for learning (Kordaki, 2010). For example, Hoffman et al (2011) used an application (app) called C-doku to improve students' code-reading skills. C-doku provides a large number of code snippets to students and allows them to complete the input and output by reading the code.…”

Programming is an important skill in the 21st century, but it is difficult for novices to learn. To help students practice and learn efficiently, the authors developed a mobile platform called Daily Quiz, which incorporated distributed practice theory. To evaluate the impact of distributed practice in programming learning facilitated by Daily Quiz, the authors conducted a between-subject experiment with 200 freshmen divided into two groups. Both groups received the same number of multiple-choice questions via Daily Quiz. However, the control group was encouraged to practice every 7 days, whereas the experimental group was encouraged to practice every 3 days. The results showed that this simple manipulation significantly improved the experimental group’s performance on final exams. Further analysis revealed that the experimental group of students achieved a higher rate of first-check correctness and tended to be more engaged in academic social interaction. Finally, a behavioral sequence analysis was adopted to compare the behavioral patterns of the two groups to investigate how distributed practice helped the students learn more efficiently.

“…Generally, our code scrambles are of medium difficulty, and syntactic considerations alone will partially, but not completely, solve them. See [7] for information on C-doku, near-complete programs with specific short answer blanks that the student must fill in, with additional features such as code coverage requirements.…”

Computer Science Circles is a free programming website for beginners that is designed to be fun, easy to use, and accessible to the broadest possible audience. We teach Python since it is simple yet powerful, and the course content is well-structured but written in plain language. The website has over one hundred exercises in thirty lesson pages, plus special features to help teachers support their students. It is available in both English and French. We discuss the philosophy behind the course and its design, we describe how it was implemented, and we give statistics on its use.
