The eLearning platform aims to provide students a collaborative programming environment with different features for them to be able to learn better on programming and computing. It can analyze data and deliver timely feedback to provide various aids to students.
Target: Students in the course COMP2123 Programming Technologies and Tools
Programming Language: C++
Data analysis focus points: classifying student's performance on passing the test cases
Examples of evaluation metrics for student performance are time elapsed in development and number of test cases passed
Majority of eLearning platforms focus on learning resources distribution and assignment submission
No specialized platform available for programming and computing education
New platform supports collaborative programming and various coding support
Student could be expected to learn programming in self-learning manner with the aid of the platform or from peers
Web system and user interface which is the frontend part of the platform are provided for users to interact with the platform.
Here is the structure of the online eLearning Platform:
The system will use data analytics for classifying test cases into different categories, which corresponds to different programming concepts.
Having the ability to categorize test cases allows pinpointing the weakness of student and giving corresponding suggestions to student.
Below are the details of it:
