Abstract

Collaborative learning is studied, especially in the light of the code camp approach, in this paper. Code camp means a short, intensive collaborative learning event in which participants work in groups. Two code camp settings and one traditional programming course are presented. Students of the courses completed questionnaires, and the answers were analyzed to establish the value of the code camp approach. It seems that students like the code camp approach, and the results seem to be better than with traditional approaches to learning of programming.
