Multimedia and networking technologies have significantly impacted on our daily activities, particularly in terms of how we learn. Nowadays, classroom teaching no longer simply relies on chalk and blackboard as the prime medium for course disseminati... Read More about Recent development in multimedia e-learning technologies.

Research over the past fifty years into predictors of programming performance has yielded little improvement in the identification of at-risk students. This is possibly because research to date is based upon using static tests, which fail to reflect...

Failure rates in introductory programming revisited (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Watson, C., & Li, F. W. (2014). Failure rates in introductory programming revisited. In Å. Cajander, M. Daniels, T. Clear, & A. Pears (Eds.), Proceedings of the 2014 conference on Innovation & technology in computer science education (ITiCSE '14) (39-44). https://doi.org/10.1145/2591708.2591749

Whilst working on an upcoming meta-analysis that synthesized fifty years of research on predictors of programming performance, we made an interesting discovery. Despite several studies citing a motivation for research as the high failure rates of int... Read More about Failure rates in introductory programming revisited.
