Students who want to create their own Android apps can take the CompuScholar: Android Programming class. This course includes 1 semester of pre-requisite Java skills and 1 semester of Android development.

These courses require a Windows computer to complete the hands-on programming activities.

These courses share the same core Java lessons in combinations suitable for the specific course theme.

Students don't need any prior programming experience. We build all Java skills from the ground up. Students will use the free Oracle JDK, Eclipse development environment, and Android SDK. All Android development is done in a software emulator; no physical devices are required.

All course material is delivered online to both students and teachers. There are no textbooks to wear out or CDs to scratch. Simply purchase online logins for your students and teachers to get started.

Each chapter contains multiple lessons with:

An instructional video
Written lesson text
An automatically graded quiz

At the end of each chapter you will also find:

One or more hands-on programming activities
An automatically graded test

While all course content is delivered online, each course contains hands-on activities to be completed on the student's personal computer. The student will actually write, build, and demonstrate their own programs using modern Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). All 3rd party software is free to download, install, and use!
