Turing’s Craft Workshop (by registration only)

Bringing It All Together: Using Integrated Online Text and Programming Practice Tools

CodeLab, the premier online, automated, interactive practice tool for programming students has long offered many hundreds of exercises in C, C++, Java, Python, Javascript, Matlab, C#, and VB that have helped students gain mastery over the syntax, semantics and common usage patterns of language constructs and programming ideas. Now integrated into free online textbooks, equipped with homework program grading support, plagiarism checks, virtual (and non-virtual) office hour support, CodeLab have evolved to become a comprehensive, on-line Teaching Associate.

This workshop introduces faculty to the key tools that enable faculty to extend their teaching power and improve student learning with CodeLab. These tools include the easier-than-ever exercise creation tool, the content editor, the assignment manager, and the plagiarism heuristic manager.

 Room: New River A
9:00 – 11:00 am
Mendix Workshop (by registration only)

Workshop title: “Build real web and mobile apps in the classroom with Mendix. No coding needed.”

If you teach courses like Systems Analysis and Design, IT Project Management and Intro/Capstone courses, you likely have your students build some sort of solution. With students of varying technical backgrounds, the tools available to execute their projects can be limited to simple slides or wireframing. With Mendix, students can build real, working web and mobile applications without needing to know how to code. Mendix is the leading low-code app development platform and through their University Program, Professors and students enjoy completely free Mendix technology, training, certifications and curriculum.

Join this workshop to get hands-on experience building apps on Mendix and receive ready-to-use curriculum materials you can easily integrate into your courses. By the end of the three hours, you will have built a simple app, learned how 70+ other universities are using Mendix in the classroom, and receive customized or readily available activities for your students. You’ll also receive some fun swag!
