Title
Face-to-Face vs. Computer-Mediated: Analysis of Collaborative Programming Activities and Outcomes
Abstract
In this paper we present the analysis of a laboratory experiment designed to understand the effect of two communication environments, that is, face-to-face or computed-mediated, on group achievements when participants are involved in programming tasks, within an academic computer science course. Results show better students' performances in the computer-mediated setting, as stated by a statistically significant difference between the two approaches when considering the quality of the produced projects, in terms of the teacher's evaluation to pass the final exam. Our analysis shows that the integration of a collaborative instrument in a development environment helps students to achieve better results.
