Group 6 - Abstract by Orange https://padlet.com/wjtan627/xdxe3k7c4h23 Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!! en-us 2016-11-21 07:52:04 UTC 2016-12-08 14:12:34 UTC hello@padlet.com Problem: wjtan627 https://padlet.com/wjtan627/xdxe3k7c4h23/wish/139011946
  • Every student has different learning speed in the lecture classes and it is almost impossible for the lecturer to monitor each student’s performance in class. As a result, the students might not be able to catch up with the lecture classes and eventually they will be left behind and unable to proceed with the classes. As said by Tony Jenkins in his research paper titled “On the Difficulty of Learning to Program”, the pace of the instruction is not under the students' control (and it is more than likely that different students in the class will learn at different paces).

  • The Secret of C allows the students to preview the topic of structure. This preview will be consisting of a set of text explanation on the basics and a video playback will be available after the text explanation to allow the students to learn from it in case they find the text explanation boring. Apart from the topic preview, the more in-depth contents (e.g. how to declare a structure in a proper way) will be shown to the students for them to learn how to write a proper structure in C programming.
  • The Secret of C also provides a progressive learning for the students. Progressive learning allows the students to learn progressively for each topic or subtopic learned by introducing the quizzes and achievements. In our system, the quizzes will be composed of a set of MCQ questions testing on the students' understanding towards the fundamental knowledge in the topic of structure and a set of past year C programming questions to test their hands on programming skills. Upon reading the explanation and finishing the quizzes, their profile will have several achievements unlocked and updated.

  • The android application in The Secret of C will be realized through by using AndroidJava. On the other hand, Python will be used to program the Raspberry Pi to implement the same system. Furthermore, The Secret of C allows the communication between the android smartphone and the Raspberry Pi. Such communication includes the use of smartphone to control the output of Raspberry Pi and vice versa. This will be done by using the Bluetooth low energy (BLE) module which will be realized by using JavaScript.
  • To initiate The Secret of C, the android application must be first opened. If the students have the NFC tags with them, they can use it to tap on their NFC smartphones to either learn the topic of structure and proceed with the quizzes. If the students do not have a NFC smartphone, they can tap the NFC tags on the Raspberry Pi for the same purposes. For the Raspberry Pi, the contents will be viewed on a TV display with a HDMI cable connecting between them.

  • Importance: The Secret of C will allow the students to learn the topic of structure more effectively by first learning the basics and then completing the quizzes. By introducing the achievements, the students will be able to learn the topic more progressively. Therefore the students can learn the topic at their own pace since they can learn it anywhere and anytime and hence they will be able to catch up with the lecture classes.
  • Impact: The Secret of C will have the greatest impact on the students as they will be able to realize a better use of their smartphones, particularly in improving themselves in the programming skills. By learning the very basics of programming skills, they will be able to advance themselves to higher level programming languages like object-oriented C++ or Java. The Secret of C will also have an impact on the lecturer as they can freely continue the lecture class without being interrupted by the students whenever they have questions as they can use the self-learning system at their own.
  • Future expectation: Each table in the computer lab will have the Raspberry Pi with NFC reader platform installed and every students will be granted NFC tags to gain access to the contents of the topic at their own. Also The Secret of C will not be limited to only the topic of structure, instead it will be expanded to cover all topics in C programming, allowing the students to learn different topics in one system.

  • To solve the problem, we propose to create a self-learning system called "The Secret of C". The Secret of C consists of android NFC smartphone and Raspberry Pi and it ais at aiding the first year students in learning the topic of structure in C programming at their own learning speed. The NFC smartphone is involved due to its common availability and mobility to allow learning on the go, hence promoting m-learning. Meanwhile, the fixed Raspberry Pi can be used when the students do not own a NFC smartphone.
