Automation for teaching

Teaching & learning code is hard

Issues when teaching code…

  1. Demoing code in class isn’t enough
  2. People follow at different speeds in class
  3. People holding up hands & waiting for help
  4. People needing extra support & constant feedback
  5. Lots of practice necessary: meaning lots of grading
  6. People not wanting to learn code

Solutions I’ve come up with…

  1. Rely on videos, with small (< 10 min) lecture
  2. With videos, they can re-watch, take their time
  3. Sticky notes! Coloured sticky note question triage
  4. Markbot! Instant feedback, support, guidance
  5. Markbot! Completely automated grading
  6. Still working on that one…
