    En este trabajo se presenta VPL (Virtual Programming Lab), una herramienta software de c贸digo abierto que permite la gesti贸n de pr谩cticas de programaci贸n en Moodle. Esta herramienta est谩 compuesta de un m贸dulo Moodle, un applet editor de c贸digo fuente y un demonio Linux que permite la ejecuci贸n remota de programas de forma segura. Pretende ahorrar tiempo y mejorar la gesti贸n general de este tipo de actividades, adem谩s de permitir la realizaci贸n de las pr谩cticas s贸lo con un navegador. Sus caracter铆sticas m谩s destacadas son: la posibilidad de editar el c贸digo fuente y ejecutar las pr谩cticas de forma interactiva desde el navegador, ejecutar pruebas que revisen las pr谩cticas y analizar la similitud entre pr谩cticas para el control del plagio. Esta herramienta se ha empleado con 茅xito en diversas asignaturas durante el a帽o 2009. VPL est谩 disponible para su descarga en http://vpl.dis.ulpgc.es.Peer Reviewe

    Student Number : 8109673 - MSc research report - School of Science Education - Faculty of ScienceMany students fail the Fundamental Algorithmic Concepts course, in first year Computer Science at the University of the Witwatersrand. To obtain an understanding of why this occurs, the learning styles and learning approaches of the students studying the course and the relationship of these concepts with student grades were researched. A predominately qualitative paradigm was used, supplemented with quantitative data. Two research designs were selected: a survey to get a broad overview of the sample and an ethnographic design to provide an in-depth description of a small group. Existing instruments were used for the survey, namely Felder and Soloman鈥檚 Index of Learning Styles and a learning approach diagnostic test that was constructed in South Africa. An interview with open-ended questions was used for the ethnographic research. Contrary to expectations, the results of the study indicated that the adoption of a deep learning approach did not imply success. The findings suggest that a strategic learning approach may be required to achieve good grades. In contrast to other studies, over 65% of the sample population were black students. It was found that black students tend to adopt a deeper learning approach than the rest of the students. From a learning style perspective there was some new evidence to indicate that the more intuitive or global a student was, the deeper the approach the student adopted to learning. A large percentage (over 80%) of the population were visual learners and an unusually high percentage (over 60%) were reflective learners. The lecturer should match the workload and assessment methods with the desired learning approach of the students. The lecturer should also encourage the students to adopt a strategic learning approach where appropriate. In addition, the lecturer should pay particular attention to incorporating teaching styles that accommodate students with visual and active learning style preferences
