teachingpractice in undergraduate computing classes has been the traditional lecture-based approach, ateacher-centered pedagogy. The utilization of this style is for a multitude of reasons, includingtime constraints caused by professors’ research and service responsibilities, along with theperceived irrelevance of these teaching innovations to their own context. Additionally, universityfaculty have been slow to adopt student-centered practices, especially if they perceive them asunbeneficial to themselves and their students [6]. Unfortunately, research has demonstrated thatthis “sage on the stage” approach provides fewer opportunities for students to engage with thematerial and little room to integrate their own ideas and prior experiences [7].In
