Studying the Effectiveness of a Proposed Methodology for Teaching Programming Labs Online and Students’ Perspectives toward it during COVID-19: A Case Study of Hashemite University

Abstract

The global Covid-19 lockdown had shifted traditional learning in universities toward the full implementation of eLearning. This new way of learning had overcome many challenges and showed many potentials as well. During Covid-19; Information Technology students in Hashemite University had experienced learning programming languages labs using different platforms. Six labs are available: Introduction to C++, Object oriented programming 1, Object oriented programming 2, Visual basic programming, Web programming and introduction to Database. In this paper, the transition of learning programming labs is highlighted based upon students’ perception. New teaching methodology is proposed and applied for teaching programming labs courses completely remotely, the proposed methodology has been assessed out of web structured survey and direct assessment of students. The results showed that the suggested teaching model for teaching online programming labs successes preliminary in creating online practical programming environment similar to that available during face-to-face teaching at university, however the methodology must be revised to modify the adopted online programming evaluation system to become more reliable and fair.

Construction and Application of a Complex Network-Based Case Knowledge Base in an Assisted Instruction System

“…In the business administration field, building such a system not only provides a rich case resource library, but also further taps into potential knowledge and insights using complex network technology to analyze the correlation between cases [11][12][13][14]. This system not only enables students to learn and understand the core concepts and methods of business administration more systematically, but also enables teachers to prepare courses and guide students more efficiently [15][16][17][18]. Therefore, the construction and application of a case knowledge base in an assisted instruction system based on a complex network is of great significance for improving the teaching quality and efficiency of business administration.…”

E-Learning Application Using the Jigsaw Method as A Mathematics Learning Media

“…In online teaching, an educator and student must communicate effectively and efficiently to produce the best learning outcomes (Sun et al, 2022). Distance learning relies on the internet, computers, and the ability to adapt to various types of technology (Ahmad & Obeidallah, 2022).…”

Virtual Programming Laboratory in Collaborative Inquiry Learning to Improve Higher Order Thinking Skills for Work Readiness in the Industrial World

“…Computer labs play an important role in distinguishing practical (hands-on) learning from theoretical learning. The main objective of laboratory courses is to establish a link between theoretical learning and the same practical application in knowledge (Al Ahmad & Obeidallah, 2022). For this reason, careful planning is needed, dynamic in practice related to the use of technology that changes the role of teaching in managing learning in higher education (Ideris et al, 2019).…”
