Abstract
Computer education faces with new challenges for the emerging new technologies such as multi-core/many-core technology. Practice is one way to solve this problem. However, practice is limited in the course. Other ways should be provided for students’ practice. In this paper, a novel approach is described to exploit innovative computer education through student associations. Students organize themselves into a variety of associations where they conduct various activities spontaneously under the guidance of teachers. They are more actively engaged in the practice and take the initiative to learn new content. Our investigation also shows that students have a high acceptance on such associations.
