Additional information
<32>This is the first major report on the use of Peer Instruction (PI) in computer science education, reporting significant improvements in student learning. PI has gained significant acceptance in other disciplines, but not previously in CS. The paper created sufficient interest to spawn a dedicated website peerinstruction4cs.org in 2012 which receives tens of hits per week. Furthermore, PI is now being adopted by school teachers in US and UK classrooms. The paper has encouraged researchers in 8 institutions to work in this area, generating 10 further papers. SIGCSE is the major North American CS education conference.
