Joint Pilot for Programming

Overview

This is a joint pilot for programming courses to develop new interactive automatically assessed exercises and assignments as well as tools for various needs in programming related courses. We aim at agile learning material production, flexible maintenance and updates, collecting learning analytics data, monitoring study paths, etc. This is an ongoing process that also try to disseminate best practices to all computer science and programming courses. In addition, we develop the current infrastructure in order to consolidate the aforementioned processes, removing overlaps, enhancing feedback and usability for students, producing new visualizations and animations, and creating new automatically assessed exercises for Python, Scala, Matlab, SQL, etc., but avoiding platform and vendor lock ups (the same course materials can be utilized in different platforms).
