Improving WebIDE through Delightful Design and Gamification Michael Hilton WebIDE is a web-based online learning environment. WebIDE has been used successfully to teach CS0 and CS1 students Java and C concepts and software engineering best practices, specifically Test Driven Development. Previous Web-IDE development has concentrated on developing functionality. The main goal of this effort is to improve two non-functional aspects of WebIDE. The first is to design a more delightful user interface. The second is to add a scoring mechanism that encourages students to develop best practices. The scoring mechanism rewards students who answer the question correctly on the first attempt, discouraging them from spamming the answer button. Our objective is to motivate the students to think before answering. The innovations are evaluated through a semi-controlled experiment that was conducted during the Fall quarter of 2012 at Cal Poly. iv Acknowledgements I would like to thank my committee members, Dr. John Clements and Dr. Franz Kurfess, for their support and input on the process.

The help that my neighbor, John Kelly, provided in proofreading was invaluable , and helped me tighten up the prose, and significantly improve the readability of this thesis. I don't how to thank Dr. David Janzen for all the help he has given me throughout this process. Thanks for taking me on as a student even though it was your sabbatical. Thanks for allowing me to perform an experiment in the Fall 2012 csc123 class. You have truly been a inspiration to me! My family deserves the most credit of all. Thanks to my lovely wife, Ann, and all her support, even when it looked like I was just surfing the internet. To my children, Elena and David, you both have been the best kids a dad could hope for. Thanks so much for providing our family with …
