Used Codementum occasionally for 0–3 months

Really fun way to learn code. Excellent GUI and portal. However, I was disappointed that we couldn't get clearer results from the competition i.e. a clear indication of who did and didn't complete all 30 challenges. Some students also clicked 'Start coding' instead of 'Join the competition' (an easy mistake to make as the buttons were right next to each other) , this caused problems for them and meant they couldn't progress through the levels.
Rachael Morris found Codementum:
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“We ran the competition which meant a lesson was planned for me but quite a lot of teacher input was required as some students struggled with the task”
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency“Students really enjoy learning to code using Codementum”
- Slightly improves teacher knowledge“Allows me to practice my programming skills through helping to debug students solutions”
- Slightly improves attainment“NA”
- Moderately builds student knowledge“Students are learning programming techniques such as iteration in a fun environment”
