Elise Deitrick, PhD, Codio's Director of Curricula discusses the findings from the 2019 Survey of Computer Science Teaching.

Codio conducted a survey of computer science educators in US higher education institutions to better understand the curricular, grading, and administrative challenges they face.

Teachers increasingly need content they can customize for their context and are looking for technology to take on more of the grading burden.

Two key pain points for educators today—low student engagement and satisfaction—are related to curriculum challenges like high student attrition rates.

In short, while educators across the board are feeling the increasing student-to-teacher ratio that's often reported there is a disparity in resources between institutions.

There are many challenges around grading: inadequate TA resources, providing timely feedback to students, and development/grading environment compatibility.

In the latter half of 2019, Codio conducted a survey to better understand the state of computer science education in higher education institutions.

Codio's Global Assessments Library contains auto-graded assessment questions covering a wide variety of topics, difficulties, and assessment types.

Students who learned applied cryptography using Codio learned more than the students who learned in the ‘traditional’ way.

C-Books includes all the powerful features of the Codio platform, including auto-graded assessments, plagiarism detection, learning insights by unit and student, and a library of pre-configured stacks enabling you to easily create and share supplementary programming projects or assignments with your students.
