Abstract
Java Programming Laboratory (JPL) is a cloud
based learning environment used for teaching object-oriented
programming at Griffith University, Australia. JPL
incorporates a number of features found in other successful
programming learning environments and builds upon them
with a range of innovative features. JPL provides a database
that tracks individual students’ successes and progression
through scaffolded programming exercises and assessment
items and gives students immediate feedback on their use of
programming language syntax and correctness of problem
solutions. A data querying and visualisation facility allows
analysis of the database to provide real-time performance
indicators from the overall course / problem level down to the
individual student / specific problem level. Programming
instructors and curriculum designers will find that this facility
allows a responsive approach to student engagement,
assistance and progression; as well as course problem tuning
in a just-in-time manner.
