A Case Study on the Effect of Using an Anchored-Discussion Forum in a Programming Course

Jean-Philippe Pellet

In the context of a programming course taught to college freshmen, we give an account of the switch from a classical, Moodle-based discussion forum to MIT's NotaBene (NB) platform. One of the defining features of NB is to anchor each discussion thread to a ...
