The Impact of a Motivation Booster in Blended Learning Experiences in Computer Science Education

The outcomes presented in this paper are associated with the impact of motivational messages sent by a Motivation Booster to the students that participated in blended learning experiences. The aim of the Motivation Booster is to provide personalized and summarized feedback, by means of motivational messages, to the users of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning systems on their completed collaborative learning activities. The developed Motivation Booster was integrated into the Moodle system. Two blended learning experiences were put into practice at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana Montería (Colombia) over an academic year with students enrolled in the course called “Software Engineering” at the Computer Science Department. A group of students participated in the first blended learning experience, and they used the Moodle system without the Motivation Booster. And another group of students participated in the second blended learning experience, where they used Moodle with the developed Motivation Booster. The experimental results give us evidences that the students felt more motivated to work with the Moodle system when they received motivational messages due to the Motivation Booster. Especially students were stimulated to work in a group manner.The outcomes presented in this paper are associated with the impact of motivational messages sent by a Motivation Booster to the students that participated in blended learning experiences.

Analysis of the Students' Interactions and Satisfaction During a Collaborative Lab Project

Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to present the students' interactions and satisfaction in a Collaborative Lab Project supported by a Teaching Assistant System-TASystem. The goal of the developed TASystem is twofold: a) to assist the instructors with the design of collaborative learning activities in Learning Management Systems-LMS and b) to help the students when performing this type of activities in these systems. The TASystem was embedded into the LMS Moodle. In order to carry out this study, a research methodology was defined. Students from the School of Engineering at the Universidad del Valle-UNIVALLE (Colombia) took part in the research study. The mainly presented results in this research study showed that the students were motivated to interact and collaborate with their classmates in a small group level. And that most of the students were satisfied when using the TASystem in Moodle.Resumo O principal proposito deste artigo é apresentar a satisfação e as interações dos estudantes em um Projeto de Laboratório Colaborativo suportado por um Sistema Assistente de Ensino TASystem. O objetivo do TASystem desenvolvido é duplo: a) apoiar aos professores no desenho de atividades de aprendizagem colaborativa em Sistemas de Gerenciamento de Aprendizagem e b) ajudar aos estudantes quando realizam este tipo de atividades nestes sistemas. O TASystem foi integrado no sistema Moodle. Com o fim de levar a cabo este estudo, uma metodologia de investigação foi definida. Os estudantes da Escola de Engenharia na Universidade do Valle-UNIVALLE (Colômbia) tomaram parte neste estudo de investigação. Os principais resultados apresentados neste estudo mostraram que os estudantes estiveram motivados a interatuar e colaborar com seus colegas de turma a nível de grupos pequenos. E que a maioria dos estudantes estiveram satisfeitos quando utilizaram o TASystem em Moodle.Resumen El principal propósito de este artículo es presentar la satisfacción y las interacciones de los estudiantes en un Proyecto de Laboratorio Colaborativo soportado por un Sistema Asistente de Enseñanza TASystem.
