Turing’s Craft

WORKSHOP TITLE: Rapid Creation of Online Programming Exercise Sequences: from critical code snippets to full programs

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: In this workshop, faculty will make use of CodeLab’s astonishingly easier-than-ever programming exercise editor to build sequences of exercises that take a student from mastering some of the critical programming elements in a CS1 application to building the application itself.

What IS CodeLab anyway? It’s 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.
1:15 – 2:50 pm

Google Cloud

This workshop is designed to help faculty who are interested in the cloud but may not know where to start get started. We’ll cover a number of compute and storage options, do some networking, and touch on some of the big data and machine learning tools available. This workshop will focus on how these tools can be used in a variety of classes.

This is a hands-on workshop and participants should bring their own computers. (An advantage of the cloud is any machine with a reasonable browser will work.) No previous cloud experience is necessary but we’d hope everyone who attends, even those with cloud experience, will pick up something useful.
