“…Finally, students grasp concepts easily, quickly teach and learn from their peers to produce a working product that enhances their technical skills due to the timebased nature of Hackathon (Nandi & Mandernach, 2016;Remshagen et al, 2018). Seidametova et al (2022) also report that participants acquire public speaking and other new skills as they engage and solve standard and non-standard tasks leading to a positive learning outcome.…”

Hackathons are said to promote a variety of innovative ideas and can be traced back to the idea of problem-solving. There is little research on the use of hackathons in classes to meet course-level learning objectives, despite the emphasis given to its advantages in other human efforts. By conducting a systematic literature review (SLR), this study uses the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement criteria to better understand the advantages of hackathons in education. From an initial search result of 108 research publications obtained from Google scholar and Scopus databases and published between 2015 and 2022, 25 articles were reviewed. The findings point to three important educational advantages of hackathons: improvement of technical and soft skills, learning new things, and successful networking. The study has implications for academics and other interested parties in in adopting hackathons in an academic curriculum. It suggests a need to model and develop instruments to introduce hackathon-based pedagogies to support traditional classrooms. Keywords: Educational support, hackathon, students, systematic review, teaching pedagogy.

This study proposes a robust framework for the training of software engineers specializing in parallel computing. We first curated essential content for parallel computing education based on international standards and evolving recommendations from Computing Curricula. We then systematically structured the content and designed a well-defined learning pathway for aspiring software engineers. Concurrently, we conducted a comprehensive assessment of the current state of training for parallel computing in Ukrainian higher education institutions. We analyzed bachelor’s programs in Information Technologies and scrutinized individual course syllabi to identify valuable insights. By merging our findings with the review of educational programs, we formulated a comprehensive model for training in parallel computing. We also examined the pivotal role of the course ”Parallel and Distributed Computing” in the developed curriculum and identified essential tools and methodologies for developing parallel and distributed programs. Our research contributes to the advancement of parallel computing education and provides a valuable reference point for curriculum designers and educators.

“…Educational settings, in particular, have been found to benefit from the introduction of hackathons because they encourage students to practice the concepts learned in the classroom [9,33]. Consequently, educators have adopted hackathons in traditional education settings related to computer science, software engineering, and STEM [38].…”

Integrating Hackathons into an Online Cybersecurity Course

Cybersecurity educators have widely introduced hackathons to facilitate practical knowledge gaining in cybersecurity education.Introducing such events into cybersecurity courses can provide valuable learning experiences for students. The nature of the hackathon format encourages a learning-by-doing approach, and the hackathon outcomes can serve as evidence for students knowledge, capability and learning gains. Prior work on hackathons in education mainly focused on collocated hackathon events in the traditional classroom setting. These hackathon events often took place as a one-off event at the end of the course. However, one-off hackathon events at the end of a course might not be sufficient to improve learning. Instead, we focus on analyzing the integration of a series of online hackathon events into an online cybersecurity course and explore how this integration can address online education issues by encouraging collaboration and developing a practical understanding of the delivered course by solving real-world challenges. We evaluate interventions to foster learning and analyze its effect on collaboration and learning gains for students in the course. Our findings indicate that students attribute learning benefits to the introduced interventions that supported teamwork and collaboration, maintained student participation and interest in the course, and encouraged learning-by-doing. CCS Concepts: • Social and professional topics → Computing education.
