ABSTRACT:
SQL has gained traction nowadays with an increasing number of students learning it to deal with databases. To help students learn SQL when COVID-19 swept the world with face-to-face teaching made unavailable, an online SQL Challenge Game was devised over concern that students might lose motivation to study after lectures. The SQL Challenge Game was aimed at engaging students in out-of-class learning activities and enhancing students’ academic performance. This game platform is characterized by the availability of a challenge mode game, in which two players raced to answer questions of SQL. So far, we have not found such kind of SQL practice game with peer interaction and competition in other pieces of literature. This study inquired into which category of gamified learning activities, solo mode or challenge mode, was more appealing to students and helped them perform better academically. Daily attempt limits were in place to ensure students playing the SQL Game regularly after lectures. The results show a high participation rate from the students, and a strong correlation between SQL Challenge Game scores and the academic performance of the students concerned.

ABSTRACT:
Teaching computing-related subjects in a lecture hall faces challenges of immediate practice and adopting blended learning approach due to lack of technical resources. Turning to a computer lab can let students practice with computers and participate in various online activities. However, the environment of the computer lab does not favor face-to-face lectures. To address this problem, we use Blackboard Collaborate to webcast the presentation to connect nearly a hundred students. Blackboard Collaborate provides a good platform to create and enhance active, collaborative and interactive learning experience whereby the students interact with their peers and the instructor by using the features of drawing on a virtual whiteboard, file sharing, classroom chatter, breakout room, hand-raising feature, polling, etc. By integrating blended learning approach with Blackboard Collaborate, a large number of students could engage in interactive activities with ease. By collecting participation data and surveying students’ feedback, we find that there is an increase in students’ engagement and interaction in class. Also, students’ learning experience and academic performance are found to be improved.

ABSTRACT
The future of I.T. relies on the next generation and the knowledge of the next generation is built up today. However, the current I.T. education in Cambodia is often based on not properly trained teachers. There are also very few well-trained I.T. people working in the education field or I.T. industry in Cambodia. This will form an adverse cycle and the situation will never improve if no revolution is brought to I.T. education in this country. In this regard, it is proposed to offer a servicelearning subject that helps reduce the gap of I.T. education between Cambodia and the developed countries. The objectives are to train the students, teachers and technical staff in Cambodia with proper I.T. knowledge. It is aimed to produce more well-trained I.T. people in Cambodian workforce so that Cambodian can help themselves for sustainable I.T. education in future.
