| description | The problem of learning programming subjects, especially through distance
learning and E-Learning, has been widely reported in literatures. Many attempts
have been made to solve these problems. This has led to many new approaches in
the techniques of learning of programming. One of the approaches that have been
proposed is the use of virtual pair programming (VPP). Most of the studies about
VPP in distance learning or e-learning environment focus on the use of the
synchronous mode of collaboration between learners. Not much research have been
done about asynchronous VPP. This paper describes how we have implemented VPP
and a research that has been carried out to study the effectiveness of asynchronous
VPP for learning of programming. In particular, this research study the
effectiveness of asynchronous VPP in the learning of object-oriented programming
among students at Open University Malaysia (OUM). The result of the research has
shown that most of the learners have given positive feedback, indicating that they
are happy with the use of asynchronous VPP. At the same time, learners did
recommend some extra features that could be added in making asynchronous VPP
more enjoyable. (Authors' abstract) |
