ABSTRACT
An engaging context has been shown to improve student
motivation and performance in introductory programming
courses (CS1). Therefore, we incorporated a self-contained, oneweek
learning module on mobile app development into a CS1
course using Eclipse and Sofia (the Simplified Open Framework
for Innovative Android Applications). The module was
conducted in 2 CS1 sections for a total of 44 students. Overall,
students responded positively, with all successfully modifying
the provided app and running it on an emulator. In future
semesters, the authors plan to repeat the study, conducting
surveys to gather student perspectives on Eclipse and the Sofia
module. The poster will describe the module, initial results, and
future plans.
