ABSTRACT
We ran an action research on content co-creation for 53 novice programming students at Master level from diverse backgrounds, aiming to increase motivation and understanding. An optional survey gathered positive feedback from all 26 respondents regarding their motivation and understanding. These findings highlight the positive impact of inclusive approaches in programming education, warranting further exploration in larger settings.

Use of problem-solving approach to teach scratch programming for adult novice programmers (abstract only)

Adult novice programmers with little computer background knowledge might face more ...
Readers' motivations to participate in hyperlocal news content creation
GROUP '12: Proceedings of the 2012 ACM International Conference on Supporting Group WorkReaders are increasingly participating to news content creation by submitting user-generated content (UGC). We studied the participation motivations of active readers who send photo content to a hyperlocal news publisher. The first results based on an ...
