Declarations
:
: This study was conducted in full compliance with ethical standards, and verbal consent was obtained from all participants. The rationale for using verbal consent is grounded in the context of the educational environment. As the class instructor, I secured verbal consent from students to use their learning artifacts on a public GitHub repository to document and showcase their learning journey.
: Written consent for identifying information was not required in this instance, as all data utilized in this study comes from information that participants voluntarily made public on their GitHub profiles. The decision to use publicly available data was predicated on the understanding that participants were aware of the general nature of their contributions and consented to their visibility by sharing their information in a public GitHub repository. This approach aligns with ethical guidelines for using publicly available data, ensuring that all participant data included in this study was shared under the participants' consent through their public GitHub profiles. Proof of the general nature of this data can be provided upon request.
