I've been teaching Computer Science for over 20 years and worked in industry for 20 years prior to
that. Since joining the teaching profession, I have become dismayed that despite huge advances in
technology and the current digital age, access to good teaching tools that don't cost the earth is
becoming more and more difficult. Although we all like 'free', nobody really minds when things
aren't. We just want things to be affordable.
Budgets in schools are really very tight at the moment, so I found myself looking for a super
low-cost platform that would make managing my students' programming work easier. I couldn't have
been happier to have found not one, but two online coding platforms that seemed to offer amazing
support for teachers and, unbelievably, would be offering this support FOREVER and for FREE! I
dutifully set about spending months developing online exercises and courses, and for a while, it
looked like all was well.
However, as many of you know, that first platform withdrew support for schools, and we were all left
high and dry. We picked ourselves up and set about building courses over the coming months in the
other platform that had also promised free forever. Well, we all know how the story goes... and once
again, we were all left without anything affordable.
That's where Go Code It came in.
Having lost access to some great learning platforms, I decided it was time to develop my
own... and here I am with Go Code It.
Although the large platforms were offering free, the truth is I would have paid for the service had
they offered a cost-effective package for subscription. The school I teach at has nearly 1500
students studying Computer Science at one point or another. Per student licenses are simply not
affordable.
I wanted to develop a flexible online coding platform that was really light on the need for
resources so that it gave a low-cost platform to help me teach the students in my classroom while
being able to be sustainable for the long term.
The self marking programming problems section will always be free to use, so have a play around and
see
what you think. However, full disclosure... I do charge a small amount for the additional
teacher tools so that they can continue to be supported, developed and maintained. Go Code It is
now fully operational and continues to grow with new features and improvements.
I continue developing new features and enhancements regularly in my spare time.
The platform includes a complete back-end account system with everything teachers need for
comprehensive student and class management. You can now create custom programming projects,
manage assignments, track student progress, and much more.
So that's it really, Go Code it, a low-cost platform that is available to any teacher who feels the
same as I did. I have lots of plans for additional features once I have finished adding the practice
assignments, so watch this space!
