Next-Generation Programming Education: Integrating Generative AI and Collaborative Tools for Cutting-Edge Learning Experiences
This special issue belongs to the section "Information Systems".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite all of you to contribute research and knowledge to this Special Issue to explore the innovations and advancements in the field of next-generation programming education.
In recent years, programming education has undergone a transformative revolution driven by the integration of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and collaborative tools. This has introduced new possibilities, empowering both educators and learners to embrace cutting-edge learning experiences in the realm of programming and computer science. We encourage submissions of original research articles, and reviews that delve into various aspects of this intersection, including, but not limited to:
- Novel approaches and methodologies in next-generation programming education.
- The use of generative AI to enhance coding practice and understanding.
- Collaborative tools and platforms fostering interactive programming learning.
- Evaluations and outcomes of integrating generative AI in coding curricula.
- Best practices and success stories in implementing cutting-edge learning experiences.
In this Special Issue, we may receive the best papers from the International Computer Programming Education Conference (ICPEC’ 2023), as well as other independent papers.
