Abstract

Learning various programming languages in a short amount of time is a challenging task. To help students tackle several programming languages during the course of a semester, while reducing the teaching assistants’ support efforts, a system named ORVViS was implemented and integrated with Moodle Learning Management System. ORVViS is used to assist students validate assignment solutions, and also to check for source code plagiarism. This paper presents the course Open computing, our motivation, system use cases, as well as our results and experiences. These observations helped us improve the assignments to better suit our teaching goals and help students learn the course concepts more quickly.
