“…In the first three experiments, 129 computer science students used IDEOL to perform their programming exercises in two programming language courses at our school. Results of these three experiments were reported by Nguyen et al [22] and Tran et al [23]. This paper describes the overall system design and reports our findings from the forth and more comprehensive controlled experiment that investigated the application of EduCo in performing extended team-based object-oriented programming (OOP) programming projects.…”

This paper presents the design and evaluation of a Web-based collaborative learning environment called EduCo for learning and practicing team-based exercises in computer science and software engineering courses. EduCo's defining characteristic is integrating a number of services for software development activities, for example, project management, requirements engineering, design, and programming into integrated shared workspaces with social-networking facilities to enhance collaboration among students and instructors. We conducted a controlled experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of the system in doing a three-iteration programming project. A total of 126 second-year students who attended an object-oriented programming course participated in the experiment. The results show that while the system was not found to affect student programming performance, it improved student engagement and satisfaction when working in teams. These results imply that the system's shared workspaces and social-networking services have the potential to enhance learning outcomes of students working in teams when these features are integrated into collaborative learning environments. ß

“…We have conducted preliminary case studies of the IDEOL sub-system in the Programming Techniques course and the Object-oriented Programming course at our school. Results of these experiments are discussed in detail in [32] and [37]. In this paper, we provide the complete overview of the EduCo environment, summarize the case studies conducted on our sub-systems, and discuss the vision and potential usage scenarios of EduCo for education, training, development and research in software engineering.…”

There have been studies suggesting that collaboration and cooperation can deliver higher performance than competition or individual work. The Web does not only provide ubiquitous access to resources and computation power but also can be an open structure for better and continuous collaboration. In this study, we introduce our vision and construction of an integrated social environment called EduCo to assist teaching and learning software engineering courses. EduCo is a Web environment for instructors to teach and for students to learn and practice designing, programming, and managing software in software engineering courses. It is also a social network platform that helps stimulate participation, interaction, sharing, awareness, accountability, and teamwork. This paper describes the initial construction of the system with many core capabilities realized. The paper also presents our case studies from applying the system to several programming language classes. The results from the case studies suggest that the system has the potential to encourage students' participation and satisfaction. In addition, this paper presents our vision for future enhancements of the system with core capabilities such as feeds, dashboards, notifications, tracking, and reporting.
