At the Turn of the Tide – Teaching Python in Real-Time at Scale
summary
A university course migrates to a browser‑based learning platform called ed and builds interactive lessons with code challenges, automatic marking, and shared real-time collaborative coding environment workspaces. The system supports live analytics so tutors join student workspaces, give immediate hints, and inspect plots; it scales to over 1,200 students per semester, removes local installs, raises engagement and satisfaction, and delivers quicker feedback though it requires substantial upfront test‑and‑exercise authoring.
