Since 2021, the presenter has offered a programming course on developing applications using Ruby and Ruby on Rails at their university. Delivered online, the course has posed challenges for some students due to its demand for advanced programming skills. To address these difficulties, the bulletin board system (BBS) functionality integrated into the learning management system was leveraged during the academic years 2022 and 2023. This presentation will unveil the findings of text analysis conducted on the questions and answers exchanged on the BBS. It aims to offer insightful and actionable suggestions for educators, trainers, and individuals delivering programming education.
The presenter has offered a course on app development using Ruby and Ruby on Rails since 2021. However, this is an online course aimed at the entire university, and the participants' skills vary, so there are various difficulties in proceeding with the lectures. This talk will introduce the background, overview, and experiences of providing this course over the past three years. The presenter will also report the results of a simple text analysis regarding problem-solving using the bulletin board system conducted in 2022 and 2023. The information provided in this talk is considered to be useful for trainers and educators conducting programming training.
