Leveraging Social Networks to Increase Motivation in Learning Programming

A common argument among computer science students is the lack of practical, real-world relevance of applications they develop as part of their studies. This paper describes and analyses how learning social networks programming, as a practical assignment of a programming course, affects students’ motivation and whether it alleviates such complaints. Educators can use the findings to decide whether integrating such elements into their courses is worthwhile.
