All people who took part had already done homeworks, so it was actually a check and a verification. I had trouble from the lower resolution of my notebook (it was not always easy to read other people' screen), from my difficulty to speak fluently english, and to understand it as well (I'm a bit hard of hearing). Later I was frustrated when during pair programming was required googling. (196) [clarified with student: "<span style="font-size:13px">I thought homeworks had to be done before and people was supposed to take part to pair programming with clear thoughts about how to do things.

It was good to watch others (I learned tricks and little syntax notations that I wasn't familiar with before). Also, I had an idea of how to approach a problem that helped another solve the homework. The reason that I didn't continue was because I didn't feel confident in my programming abilities to be able to 'remote' pair with someone. Perhaps this is something inherent to me, but I feel like I need to 'know' 80% of the homework before I can enter a pair session. (152)</span></span></li>

It was a little awkward getting the hang of the technology for the session. We started as a group of three but eventually had four people show up and split into two groups. The group I was in only got about halfway through the homework before it got too late, but we were productive during this time and I believe everyone viewed the session as a success. I was the driver and I certainly benefited from the input of the other participants, who usually had a solution when I got stuck on some bit of syntax. (149)</span></span></li>

I set up the class machine on AWS, installed tmux, wemux, and vim, and cloned my vim configuration files from github. The webcam & mike on my computer are broken, so we just used irc to talk. My pair was someone I knew from previous moocs. He's a professional programmer but had never paired before. We took turns "driving". Generally one of us would do a problem, then the other would write tests for it; then we'd swap for the next problem. It was interesting how often we were able to catch one another's syntax & logic errors right away. If there was syntax neither of us remembered we'd both use google and/or a repl on our local machine until one of us figured it out. There was some confusion when we both tried to take the cursor, but we eventually got used to explicitly asking for control. He didn't like some of my vim keybindings though :). Overall it was very fun. (84)</span></span></span></span></font></li>

So he had to log out and log back in. Then it was OK. We were all stuck in sort of different places, and it was kinda hard to help someone debug without physical access. I would say things like "did you run bundle install" and "did you do rake db migrate" and he would say yes. (78)</span></span></span></span></span></span></font></li>

I couldn't find my mic at the time, so I was scrambling to type in order to keep up with the conversation, but my messages often weren't read for some time. Subsequent pair programming sessions with my mic were much easier. It was still useful, and a great learning tool, however I find (and continued to find) that it is a very slow and laborious process. It was much quicker for me to bang out the problem myself after I left my first pair programming session. Later sessions were again more useful, since I had become more experienced I was able to offer more help, and seemed to glean more from watching others.

There were 4 of us, and one guy didn't have a microphone, which prevented him from participating more. Some other people showed up in the hangout but did not participate. As for the programming, it didn't feel much like pair programming, as in a driver-observer activity. It was more like a disorganized group programming. The hangout worked surprisingly well for screensharing, and we could comment on each other's code without any problems. However, I couldn't get the hangouts to work from inside the VM, it kept crashing, so I had to connect from my host machine and switch to the VM to code and then back to the host to paste something and so on and so forth, which has been annoying. It was also interesting to meet people from such different backgrounds, like a highschool student from Bangladesh, although his accent was a little bit difficult to understand.

In the end I invited one of the students who had indicated he would be attending my session. I paired with an American living in the Puerto Rico who was very worried about being the weaker programmer. I reassured him that I was also a Ruby novice and that I hoped to transfer some of my PHP skills into my Ruby programming. I took the drivers seat and wrote the first 2 methods of SaaS HW1, my partner contributed by looking up method calls and syntax in a paper Ruby book he had to hand. I'm not very talkative, but my partner did stop me to ask questions and point out any errors or weaknesses in my code. When I offered him a turn to drive he got nervous and worried that he would slow us down, he insisted I drive for the remainder of the session. When the HW was completed we shared the code by copy pasting in the chat window and submitted to the AutoGrader. After receiving a passing grade we chatted a little and then signed off.

I actually had to ask them, that I was thinking that we will do the assignments together as each one start dive into one of the problems and we loop throw them, as a real pair programming session, not just sharing our answers, and they agreed, and decided to start fresh. The session was really useful, we came up with different ideas and really nice code, that no one could do alone. I think each of us really came up with an idea in the code that made it much much better, which was something really nice. Overall the experience was really great and I learned a lot from it and looking to do my next assignments in pair programming as well.

<ul><li><span style="background-color:transparent;line-height:1.6;font-size:10pt">In this scenario, both people would sign on to a common unix host. One person would start a screen and provide the credentials so that the other person(s) could watch the session or interact with the session. This method allows both people to actually make changes during the session when it makes sense to switch control. This method requires that you use an editor on the unix box like vi / vim, which is not always efficient. It worked well for me.</span></li></ul>

<li><span style="background-color:transparent;font-size:10pt;line-height:1.6">We also used this quite often for the daily 15 minute meetings with the team so that everyone could see the rapid board with the work actively underway.

Any other thoughts on remote pair programming sessions and how they are connected to MOOCs like edX 169?</span></div>

<li><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,sans,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:transparent;line-height:1.6">It was really challenging, really. pair programming does not require only programming, but it's about the more broad social/meeting skills Dave was speaking about in the SAMOSAS lesson. (196)</span></li>
<li><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,sans,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:transparent;line-height:1.6">I think the pair programming should go in pairs. With these hangouts, oftentimes you get up to 10 people at a time, each at a different point with a different problem, and folks tend to leave unless their patient enough to wait for somebody to pay attention to them. (195)</span></li>
<li><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,sans,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:transparent;line-height:1.6">I like it, but unfortunately didn't have chance to work on every HW in pair programming way (190)</span></li>
<li><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,sans,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:transparent;line-height:1.6">I think they have their place, however for a course like edX 169 and other MOOCs, I would really like to see an offering of the course materials that lets you go through at your own pace. The course structure really doesn't leave much time for a working professional who has a wife and children to fit it in, yet I don't need to turn to forums at all for assistance, I know very well how to use Google, so I would simply have preferred going through the course with less stringent deadlines for a certificate that doesn't really count in the real world yet. (186)</span></li>
<li><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,sans,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:transparent;line-height:1.6">I have a very young family with 3 small children and I found that I could not allocate time blocks for working on the course. When I had the chance to get something done I grabbed it so I don't think this fit well with the idea of setting up or joining pre-organised sessions. (182)</span></li>
<li><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,sans,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:transparent;line-height:1.6">I would like to see non-assessable (i.e. "non-credit") programming tasks which are related to the assessable homework programming questions and where there is no constraint on communication between students, i.e. no need to worry about breaking the honour code. (180)</span></li>
<li><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,sans,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:transparent;line-height:1.6">Having never used any of the pair programming technologies before it just added and overloaded my ability to accommodate the number and amount of new software tools required during the first 2 weeks of class. Suggest adding a 1- 2 week Pre course setup sessions to get the infrastructure in place so class content can be the focus from day one of the course. The course is over and I still don't have many of the tools working including; Heroku, AWS, putty, SSH, shared folders, Hangouts, rotten potatoes, to name a few. Did buy the ebook, and a Ruby book and did CodeSchool, and ruby Zombies in the hopes that I'll get thru ed169.1 next time. (178) </span></li>
<li><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,sans,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:transparent;line-height:1.6">PP can be very beneficial to coding, but it can present special problems to learning, as well as some solutions. Studying together is not a bad thing, but it's really not exactly pair programming, it's a study session. So while working together is helping, I don't think many here are getting the full experience of PP yet. On the other hand, we are getting what you should expect from a class- exposure if not immersion. (168)</span></li>
<li><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,sans,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:transparent;line-height:1.6">I think it's a great idea. There are probably incremental improvements that could be made to the process (there always are) but I can't think of any and it certainly worked as-is. Perhaps a tutorial screencast just to run through how the technology (Google+, etc.) is used and a sample session? (149)</span></li>
<li><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial,sans,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:transparent;line-height:1.6">I do not think remote pair programming is convenient for MOOCs. ... I think it would be achievable only between programmers that are in the same level. Especially for edX 169 where much of time one would spend is to find the syntax details or bits and pieces of rails, I do not think it would work for me. ... I do love the concept of pair programming but for a course where you don't just start writing code, but you spent a lot of time searching through Google or studying the ruby and rails docs, I believe it is very hard to accomplish satisfactory pair work.

Also, I think one thing that would be nice is a place to show up and say "hey, I can pair right now". I tried doing this in the g+ events but no one showed up. I don't know if it's because noone was available or if it is because nobody saw it on time. I also posted on the chat but no response from there. A little bit after I started the last homework I decided to try cloud9 and I really like it. I think I'll try using it for 169.2.

That is tough on one screen especially with the virtual machine going. I think the problem could stem from the fact that in an in-person pair programming session you are using the same computer/code so you get the code working together but in the course, we each have to submit our own code set so your first priority is not working with the other whether you are navigating or driving, you are worried about getting your code working on your PC as working on one code set and submitting it together is not allowed, which I understand there are very good reasons for that. As for remote pair programming an their connection to edx 169. I found it a very useful element to the homework questions and took a great benefit from them.

Participants should indicate what time they will be available and how long they can stay, so that sessions can be scheduled more rigidly, otherwise sessions can drag on for hours. Participants shouldn't be able to join a session after it has been in progress for more than 15mins as this can disrupt the flow. All participants should be at the same stage in the homework at the start of the session if possible. Participants should be able to bookmark other students who they have shared a fruitful pairing session with, so that they can work with that partner again when schedules permit.

I like individual programming in a lazy sense. Sometimes, for lack of explaining my thoughts, I find it helpful to conjure up something presentable to discuss on my own, which takes some time. At that point, I like to pair up for discussions, optimizations, or even total redesigns of the existing code. Sometimes, it's hard to think with somebody breathing down your neck, but in the end, that really depends on the personality and knowledge of the person with whom you happen to be pairing.

Until recently (in part 2 of the course we have switched to a private hangout with just 2 of us), it was quite distracting as different people would come and go with different levels of concerns (ranging from clueless to already completed the assignment and just wanting to help). In fact, it was more of a group study (programming) session than actual pair programming. Often productive and interesting, but not actually pair programming (until our recent switch to a private hangout). (126)</span></font></li>

Again to pair it would seem like you'd have to start code from scratch together with just 1 other person. The hangouts seem to be more of a chat session with live voices. Unless I'm doing something wrong, it is very hard to make out the text of the screen shares. Maybe there is a setting to adjust the resolution.

Even once we had, it could take even longer to figure out what needed to be done and how to achieve that. In the end I always gained a lot from it, but it was time consuming.

But everybody is at a different point. Sometimes someone without a microphone will show up, but doesn't get to participate much because most people don't look at the chat bar that often. The group decides who has done the least of the homework and that person will "drive" until he/she catches up. The other people comment on their coding while at the same time tweaking theirs or trying to solve their own problems in another part of the homework. Once everyone is at the same point, it is not clear who is driving and who is observing, since we all have to keep coding or we won't have anything to submit to the grader. The session usually ends when someone who was very active has to leave (usually because it's late and they need to sleep because they have to work the next day). The other people usually leave shortly after. At this point I lose hope of pair programming for that particular homework and do it alone.

I can only assume they are attempting to get a passing grade on the AutoGrader without doing any work. Also in pairing sessions with more than 3 programmers, a few observers tend to lurk silently without contributing or offering to drive, I fin this off-putting. Apart from these observations the sessions are very helpful in understanding the content and solving problems together.

I look at their screen and try to figure out why they are getting errors that they don't understand. Hopefully with the benefit of hindsight I can point them in the right direction, although sometimes I can't remember what was the solution to these common micro-problems and must go from first principles again. Often these students are behind in the course. Often they are looking at the code and trying to figure it out logically when they actually need to check their values. If we get stuck on something, or TA?'s group does, we go and try to get the others to take a look. If I was more familiar with the material or a better student, this scenario might not be so bad.

If I joined a hangout, often it just felt like everyone was doing their own thing with an occasional question in the chat window. I think the biggest factor of a successful session is to have a moderator, not to dominate the work, but to keep everyone together and allow others to drive.

When we start someone takes the lead in a problem and start thinking about it and write his code, others observe the code and start collaborating with ideas. And we loop throw the problems one after next so each one play the role of developer one at a time. A typical of 2 to 5 people would be perfect for the session, as everyone adds his new ideas.
