- The use of version control systems within computing education is growing in popularity. However, this is challenging because such systems are not particularly well designed to support educational situations, nor are they easy to use with confidence in teaching, as specialist knowledge and experience is required. This experience paper reports the development of the open source tool RepoBee, which assists in the use of Git/GitHub in an educational context. The tool provides a straightforward interface for managing batch tasks such as repository generation and cloning for setting and gathering assignments, opening and closing of issues to communicate with students, as well as facilitating peer reviews. Parts of RepoBee are open to integration with third party tools for additional tasks, such as running unit tests or static analysis on student repositories. We also include the perspectives of both teachers and teaching assistants who have been using the tool as part of a first year course for computer scientists.

- As students transition into higher education, their experience can be quite new and foreign to them. This experience, while an individual one, consists of many concerns that are shared amongst these transitioning students. Partly as a result of these concerns, retention rates of first year Computer Science students suffer. Members of this panel have been involved in multi-year studies across Scotland [2, 5] as well as an international study [3] looking at the student experience as they transition into undergraduate Computer Science. This panel hopes to discuss the transition into CS1 and implications for Computer Science retention rates from varied international perspectives as well as through the lens of online learning. It further hopes to discuss new ways that we might be able to better support first year CS student retention in light of collected transition data, as well as the current state of any implemented recommendations in previous work (you may want to rephrase this).
