Awesome platform for teaching programming in a remote setting
What do you like best?
Codingrooms is the first online platform that prioritizes the teacher's needs in a virtual classroom setting. Teaching remotely by combining Zoom and screen share has been a headache and more importantly ineffective. I feel the need for a solution where I can reach my students and address their needs all at the same time from one single web browser has been addressed with Codingrooms.
What do you dislike?
So far the teaching experience has been flawless. One thing that might be beneficial to add would be breakout rooms for students to do assignments and projects. The way I was advised to go about it in the meantime is to leave the sessions open for the students to complete their projects.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Remote teaching specifically for computer science and programming has been really tough. The fact that I can view and modify all my students' code from one single web browser in real-time is priceless. Also, If any of my students has not been paying attention or writing code, the system will show them when they were last active.
