计算机科学专业入学人数的增加对快速适应计算机科学入门课程入学人数的增加提出了新的挑战。由于同侪教学随入学人数的变化而变化，因此对于在这种情况下支持计算机科学专业的学生来说，这是一个很有前途的解决方案。然而，在实施大型同伴教学计划时，可能会出现教学和后勤方面的挑战。为了研究这些挑战，我们开发了一个透明的在线工具，My Digital Hand，用于跟踪一对一的同伴教学互动。我们在三所大学的大型CS2计算机科学课程中部署了这个工具。收集的数据证实了大规模存在的教学和后勤挑战，并为我们解决这些挑战的方法提供了见解。利用这些信息，我们开发了“我的数字之手”的第二次迭代，以更好地支持同伴教学。本文介绍了修改后的工具，供计算机科学教育界使用。
Increased enrollments in computer science programs presents a new challenge of quickly accommodating higher enrollment in computer science introductory courses. Because peer teaching scales with enrollment size, it is a promising solution for supporting computer science students in this setting. However, pedagogical and logistical challenges can arise when implementing a large peer teaching program. To study these challenges, we developed a transparent online tool, My Digital Hand, for tracking one-to-one peer teaching interactions. We deployed the tool across three universities in large CS2 computer science courses. The data gathered confirms the pedagogical and logistical challenges that exist at scale and gives insight into ways we might address them. Using this information, we developed the second iteration of My Digital Hand to better support peer teaching. This paper presents the modified tool for use by the computer science education community.
