Delivering Introductory Programming Courses Online

This report examines the experience of delivering introductory programming courses online at Kentucky State University (KSU). It describes the launch of two distinct courses: "Fundamentals of Computer Science" in C++ and "Introduction to Programming" in Visual BASIC, both offered online and in traditional formats. The workshop aims to discuss administrative aspects, teaching observations, and evaluate the effectiveness of online versus in-class learning. Key observations include advantages, disadvantages, and unique challenges in delivering programming education through online platforms.
