As the use of online interactive tutorials becomes more widespread, there will be more opportunities to use fine-grained interaction log data to deduce student behavior. Log data can help debug usability or pedagogical problems with the tutorials, or guide redesign to discourage pedagogically poor student behavior. OpenDSA is a collection of open source interactive materials for teaching data structures and algorithms. We present a case study analysis of the activity logs from use of OpenDSA tutorials by roughly 150 students over several weeks. We identified clusters of student use based on when they completed exercises, verified the reliability of estimated time requirements for exercises, provided evidence that a majority of students do not read the text, and found evidence that students complete additional exercises after obtaining credit. Furthermore, we determined that slideshow use was fairly high, but that skipping to the end of slideshows was common.

The OpenDSA eTextbook system provides a practical way for instructors to adopt algorithm visualizations (AVs), state ma-chine simulations, and interactive practice exercises into a variety of courses, including CS2, Data Structures, Algo-rithms, Programming Languages, and Formal Languages. An OpenDSA eTextbook can be used either as a complete re-placement for your traditional textbook and assignments or as supplemental readings, auto-graded assignments, or student practice. In this workshop, we present use cases from success-ful adoption of OpenDSA into existing courses. We will guide you past the real-life hurdles and pitfalls that get in the way of using AVs, interactive exercises, and simulators. We show you how to adopt OpenDSA exercises, how to configure existing OpenDSA materials to suit your needs, and provide an over-view of how to create new AVs or exercises. This workshop is about letting you engage students with highly interactive mate-rials in ways that you have said for years that you wanted to do.

The open-source OpenDSA eTextbook system is seeing rapidly growing use around the world. It combines textbook-quality tutorial material with many algorithm visualizations (AVs), simulations, and a large collection of interactive exercises, including small programming exercises. Its materials are re-configurable for specific classes. Being implemented in HTML5, it requires only a web browser to be accessible to students. Available content now includes comprehensive coverage for Data Structures and algorithms courses, and rapidly growing content for Programming Languages, Translators, and Formal Languages courses. This session will provide a demonstration of the most innovative features of OpenDSA as they might be used by students and instructors in a range of Computer Science courses.

In Learning computer architecture and low-level programming is a complex challenge for beginners. We introduce Roro8, an 8-bit fantasy computer system designed to simplify the learning process while closely mirroring real-world computer systems. Roro8 comprises an 8-bit microprocessor (RX8), memory-mapped I/O, external peripherals, and an external display (RD6448). This unique feature enables students to become familiar with datasheets of devices, a fundamental aspect of hardware *** core pedagogical goal is to have students implement an emulator, simulators, assemblers, and compilers, providing a hands-on learning experience. They can create games or see their own programs running on the display, making abstract concepts tangible and engaging. Our work addresses the challenge of teaching computer architecture by offering a novel solution. Unlike conventional system-on-chip designs, Roro8 simplifies the learning process while emphasizing practical engagement. This paper outlines the problem, reviews related work, introduces Roro8, and underscores the significance of our approach in enhancing computer science education.
