Abstract
Purpose The primary purpose of this study is to investigate Emirati students’ perceptions about a two-week online programming course. Methodology A mixed-method approach was used to report a two-week program experience in which 913 Emirati students engaged in a programming course. During the program, students’ progress and achievements were observed. At the end of the program, a survey was distributed amongst students for them to report on their perceptions about the experience.
