Course Design

Autograding is becoming more and more important in coding courses. In this article we discuss how to successfully adopt autograding in your computer science classroom.

Computer Science teachers use autograding to scale up their coding classrooms, but also to improve student leaning outcomes and satisfaction. Learn the pedagogical benefits of autograding in this article.

Coding education is growing, especially in high schools. Find out how CodeGrade can support K12 students.

The CodeGrade Introduction to Python course is an 8-week basic Python course. Students are not required to have any prior knowledge on programming or Python. This course will cover the basic concepts of programming up to Python specific modules and OOP design. It is available for all instructors now.

Tailoring teaching to fit students' personalized learning styles has captured the eye of institutions worldwide. We dive into the advantages and disadvantages of this method.

Learn how to identify the three types of coders: students coding to understand, students coding as a skill and those learning coding as a career. We also explain the needs of these groups and how you can best tailor your code classroom to them.

Regular Python error messages can be discouraging for students learning to code. Learn how you can set up CodeGrade's autograder to give students more easy to understand error messages for your Python course.

Computer Science courses are growing each year, leaving teachers with more and more work to grade all coursework. Learn how Alex from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas used an autograder to grow his classroom without compromise.

It is the question each CS teacher will come across: which programming language should I teach first? In this article we discuss how you can best choose a programming language (from Python and Java, to Haskell, C# and JavaScript) and programming paradigm to teach in your intro coding classroom!

In this literature research, you learn why students in Computer Science education and coding classes perform worse on average and how you can prevent that in your programming classroom!
