Here is our status at the end of the winter quarter 2026.

  • LupBook is the project that saw the most work this past quarter.

    Sachin Balasubramanyam finished writing the draft of a real interactive textbook (adapting some lecture slides from when I taught “ECS30: Programming and Problem Solving” back in 2018) and successfully defended his master’s project. He also contributed a few styling improvements to the framework.

    On my end, I finished implementing proper randomization and more resistant saving/restoring behavior for most activities. I also started working on improving the accessibility of our framework.

  • After a year-long hiatus, VRV is seeing some work again. Gabbriel Bui is attempting a reimplementation of the internal emulation engine in modern C++. Hopefully, this will get closer to being able to eventually run VRV in the browser for maximum usability.

  • Tanek Swain and I have resumed work on the CS education study that aimed to analyze differences in student records between native and transfer students. We hope to polish a paper that can be submitted by this summer.
