ABSTRACT
Computing departments increasingly use synchronous remote learning (SRL) to offer courses. This poster reports on initial survey results to better understand undergraduate computing students' experiences with SRL as compared to in-person educational environments, particularly the extent to which SRL fulfilled their needs for developing social bonds with faculty and other students. Regardless of demographic categories, students feel that social presence factors in classes are important and find in-person environments better at accommodating them.

How do Teaching Practices and Use of Software Features Relate to Computer Science Student Belonging in Synchronous Remote Learning Environments?
SIGCSE 2023: Proceedings of the 54th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education V. 1When faculty behaviors foster students' sense of belonging in class, students report better learning experiences and are more likely to remain in the major. Sense of belonging is the feeling of being a valued and legitimate member of a community. ...
Frequency of Instructor- and Student-Centered Teaching Practices in Introductory CS Courses
SIGCSE '19: Proceedings of the 50th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science EducationDespite growing promotion of student-centered teaching, few studies have assessed how widely these practices have diffused throughout computer science (CS) higher education. Studies on teaching practices often treat instructor- and student-centered ...
Here or There? Differences of On-Site and Remote Students’ Perceptions of Usability, Social Presence, Engagement, and Learning in Synchronous Hybrid Classrooms
Responsive and Sustainable Educational FuturesAbstractSynchronous hybrid classrooms, where on-site and remote learners participate simultaneously in instruction, offer organizational and pedagogical advantages, but are also associated with pedagogical and technological challenges. To date, there are ...
