Collaborative Programming in the Classroom: Approaches and Insights
summary
Claims that collaborative code workspaces remove the one-keyboard barrier and enable real-time editing of single scripts, multi-file projects and Jupyter notebooks using Ed workspaces, and reports use across pairs, small groups and whole classes. Adoption shows one course with over 90 active users and another with over a third of students using workspaces for projects. Results show increased participation, peer correction, and fewer setup problems, while larger teams (more than groups of three or four) get chaotic and anonymity is visible to staff so misbehavior is traceable.
