“…Educators' skills and competencies were also discussed in relation to the development of more specific expertise, including the use of social network analysis techniques to understand social relationships when students are part of an online network or community [12]. Furthermore, several articles referred to the use of a peer learning assistance approach, that is, having peers to hold office hours, help with labs and facilitate student group work, as they were shown to better support learning than teaching assistants [67], and the use of specific educational games [15,87] and remote laboratories [14] that could support CS education. In terms of game-based approaches to CS, educators should have the skills to provide tailored and personalised feedback [87] and assign students to game roles within a course management system [15].…”

Education 4.0 is a recently introduced concept focused on innovation, novelty, use of technology and connections with employment and industry. In particular, in engineering disciplines like computer science (CS) it is essential that educators keep up to date with industry developments. Indeed, how CS educators effectively design and implement innovative teaching and learning deserves more systematic attention. This study aims to catalogue and synthesise learning design approaches to teaching and learning within CS: (1) Which innovative pedagogic approaches are used in teaching of CS? (2) Which approaches align with Education 4.0? (3) What skills and competences do educators require to align CS teaching with Education 4.0? Our systematic literature review (SLR) included CS papers published between 2016 and 2020. Two hundred and thirty‐one studies were identified of which 66 were included in the final phase, which were coded by a multidisciplinary team. The findings indicated that many CS educators included Education 4.0 learning design elements. We found a clear distinctive three‐cluster solution: (1) EDU4 light, (2) project‐based/hands‐on learning and (3) full EDU4 (refer to Reference [7] conceptualisation, while Education 4.0 refers to our own definition [Reference 71]. These findings suggest three broad flavours when designing innovative CS practices, which might help educators align their practice.

Nowadays, we heavily depend on software, as we utilize it daily. Bugs in the software can cause significant damage, loss of private data and money, and even loss of human lives. Software testing and quality assurance discipline, which belongs to the software engineering domain, aims to ensure that the software is good enough before its release to the market. Therefore, it is vital to ensure that software engineers are highly trained in this domain. Unfortunately, this discipline is frequently neglected throughout software engineering courses. Students are mostly taught just the theoretical principles of software testing and gain little practical experience. Additionally, the software testing lectures are considered to be dull, especially if they are not followed by practical tasks where the students could apply learned techniques and gain hands‐on experience. Several tools, games, and collaborative learning environments have been proposed to make the lectures more interesting and increase student engagement. The main goal of this article is to provide a systematic survey of such environments, where each environment was evaluated in terms of major software testing topics covered and the approach used to engage the students.

“…After the educational game had been made, researchers conducted a Blackbox test of the buttons used in the edugame whether it was functioning properly or not as formulated in a study by [14][15]. For multi-platform needs, the researchers developed this educational game to be opened using one type of platform, which is desktop.…”

Dyslexia is a developmental disorder of reading and writing that generally found in children from 7 to 8 years old. Learning difficulty in reading fluency and difficulty in understanding normally or above average are the characteristics of children with developmental disorders. This study aims to build a game that can be easily utilized to introduce letter types and several techniques of reading with the correct spelling attached to pictures of each spelling. This educational game is Kinect-based so it is interesting and interactive for users and can help children with dyslexia in the process of learning reading. The research method used is the SDLC (System Development Life Cycle). The study also studies students' ability to recognize numbers. Based on interviews with teachers, students did not recognize all forms of numbers. The result of this study is the design of an educational game that is expected to help to improve the fluency of reading in dyslexic children.
