Abstract

Traditional textbooks have long been the cornerstone of education, particularly in technical fields like computer science, data science, and cybersecurity. However, as digital learning evolves, so too must the methods and materials we use. This research explores the limitations of text-heavy educational resources and investigates how interactive, hands-on learning environments can enhance comprehension, engagement, and accessibility. By minimizing dense text and emphasizing experiential learning, Codio’s platform empowers learners to master complex technical skills more efficiently and effectively.
