Oracle Workshop (by registration only)

Join the Oracle Academy team and explore the many benefits available to teachers through free membership to Oracle Academy. In our session we will demonstrate the benefits available through the Oracle Academy program from Short Byte curriculum in Java, Database and Robotic Programming designed for younger learners making their first steps into programming, to comprehensive curriculum in java programming, database development, application development and big data. Explore and get hands on in mini workshops with free Oracle Academy curriculum designed by educators for educators. Discuss with Oracle Academy and fellow educators how to use these free resources in your classroom. Registrants should bring their laptops to participate.

Setting Up and Grading Homework Programs using CodeLab’s Automated Testing System

CodeLab is an online, automated, interactive learning tool for students in programming courses. The CodeLab service provides hundreds of very short, focused coding exercises that help students gain mastery over the syntax, semantics and common usage patterns of language constructs and programming ideas. Code submissions for each exercise are automatically checked for correctness and students are provided with relevant hints in case of incorrect code.

Faculty using this service for their classes have, for years, been able to add their own programming homeworks making use of the CodeLab engine.

Now, an improved interface, enhanced exercise-creation facility, and a newly introduced instructor-oriented assignment approval subsystem, make it easier than ever for instructors to build, assign, and optionally review any programming assignment. Instructors can now specify exercises — from a fragment of code to full programs that involve both interactive and file i/o — add them to their customizable CodeLab course, assign due dates, request a code review prior to accepting a student’s checked submission (if so desired), and check progress at all stages with graphical and spreadsheet-compatible rosters.

This workshop completely illustrates the process of creating homeworks. Each participant will leave with a usable CodeLab containing model homework programs and at least one homework program that she or he has constructed during the workshop. Participants should bring one or two favorite assignments the workshop.
