Enhancing engagement in computer science courses through student created and curated question banks

Jacková, Jana, 1963- Enhancing engagement in computer science courses through student created and curated question banks = Posilnenie aktívneho učenia študentov informatických predmetov pomocou tvorby a spravovania banky úloh. / Jana Jacková. -- Multiple-choice question (MCQ) banks created by students have a potential to enhance their engagement in a course learning material. PeerWise is a web-based system for collaborative learning of students through MCQs created and discussed by them. We started to use this tool at the Matej Bel University in two Computer Science courses in the summer semester 2014 (57 students of Applied Informatics first degree programme). In this first use case, we used PeerWise as a motivation and presentation tool. At the end of semester we wanted to know if students like to use PeerWise and if they find the activity with PeerWise useful. We describe our preliminary results and findings and plans for the future
