2024 in Review

In 2024, learners attempted over 21 million assessments and spent more than 2 million hours in Codio—over 230 years. That is a lot of learning!

Course Admin & Delivery

Over 8000 courses were delivered on Codio in 2024. These courses might have fully relied upon Codio’s course texts and materials, may have utilized edited versions of Codio content, or might have used totally original materials to teach. 

While customization has always been pivotal to Codio’s content, this year, we made it even easier to tweak our course content with our course customization in the courseware catalog. Now, you can easily add, remove, or reorder modules within our courses to build the course best suited to your students’ needs.

We also unveiled our Regrade Request feature, designed to enhance the grading and feedback process for students and instructors. Named aptly, the feature allows students to request a regrade on an assignment if they are unsatisfied with their original grade. They can submit a message explaining why they believe a regrade should occur, after which, instructors can review and respond. The Regrade Request feature enables a transparent and fair grading process.

Codio Coach & AI

Similarly to the rest of the world, it was a big year for AI here at Codio. In March, we released our AI-powered learning assistant, Codio Coach, which responded to over 110,000 requests. Initially, Coach had three prompts students could select from: an error message explanation, a next step hint, or a summarization of the assignment.

Later in the year, we made it possible for educators to create AI-driven assistants tailored to their unique teaching goals, unlocking a new level of personalized learning for students. Codio Coach extensibility allows instructors to modify existing assistants, adjust AI guidance levels, or even create new AI-driven assistants that provide targeted help, from custom error explanations to answers for questions about your course. Of the requests, 56% were for error message explanations, 24% requested a next-step hint, 10% were custom requests, and 9% were for summarizations of the assignment. 

We also wanted to be sure instructors could reap the benefits of AI as well as students, so we worked to create AI-assisted authoring to simplify and speed up the content and assessment creation process for instructors. Our goal of AI-assisted authoring was to enable instructors to focus on the more creative and impactful aspects of teaching. By simply clicking our magic wand button in our authoring ribbon, instructors can generate, approve, and edit course content effortlessly, while maintaining control over the quality and relevance of the generated drafts. The magic wand not only saves instructors valuable time but also can help ensure students get new exercises and problems to work through.

New Courses

2024 was also a big year for new course material - our content team has been hard at work on new GenAI, Cybersecurity, and DS&A courseware.  Some of our new cyber courses include penetration testing, digital literacy, security operations and incident response. As always, our content emphasizes hands-on practice and exercises and is complete with labs and exams. You can explore it all in our interactive course catalog.

2024 was a busy year here at Codio and for our learners and instructors, too. Hopefully, 2025 will bring even more innovation, learning, and progress!
