Abstract: Online courses, as a pedagogical approach to teaching, boomed during this Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic era. Universities shifted from traditional face to face classes to online distance learning due to the cause of the pandemic. This study aimed to determine how effective an online course is in learning a programming course. The study utilized mixed method research applied through a validated survey questionnaire consisting of closed and open ended questions. Python programming was the course selected to undergo the study and underwent an evaluation to determine the students' responses. Student respondents are from Bulacan State University, a state university in the Philippines, under the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology program. Based on their responses, the students found that the online Python programming was Very Effective, with an overall mean of 4.49. This result shows that students found the online course effective, provided the proper course design and content, allowed them to spend enough time finishing tasks, and provided communication and interaction with their instructor and fellow students. Additionally, students gave overwhelmingly positive responses when asked what their instructors had done well on the course delivery and provided insightful and constructive comments for further enhancement and delivery of the course. This study found that most students strongly agreed and believed in the effectiveness of delivering the Python Programming course asynchronously. With such positive results from the student's perspective and evaluation, the course can be enhanced to continue providing quality education at Bulacan State University.

Giving Feedback on Interactive Student Programs with Meta-Exploration [74.5597783609281]
Developing interactive software, such as websites or games, is a particularly engaging way to learn computer science. Standard approaches require instructors to manually grade student-implemented interactive programs. Online platforms that serve millions, like Code.org, are unable to provide any feedback on assignments for implementing interactive programs.

Peer-inspired Student Performance Prediction in Interactive Online Question Pools with Graph Neural Network [56.62345811216183]
We propose a novel approach using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to achieve better student performance prediction in interactive online question pools. Specifically, we model the relationship between students and questions using student interactions to construct the student-interaction-question network. We evaluate the effectiveness of our approach on a real-world dataset consisting of 104,113 mouse trajectories generated in the problem-solving process of over 4000 students on 1631 questions.
