Proceedings of International Conference of the Learning Sciences, ICLS
Conference · pp. 1063-1064
Abstract

This study explored how students learning software development used online non-curricular resources during three months. It combined digital traces, self-reports, interviews and course documents to analyze how these resources provided learning affordances and support for pursuing learning purposes. Findings reveal complex arrangements of people and resources across different contexts, which translated into several interrelated affordances and purposes. © ISLS.
