About the study
This study looks at the teacher and student experience of the assessment workflow using new platform Kita; from student work submission to return of feedback to students. By taking part in the study you can help researchers understand the needs of teachers and students.
What is Kita?
Computing educators have long experienced the frustration of teaching with an unsustainable patchwork of disconnected tools. Kita has been built by educators to address challenges particularly in relation to assessment and feedback for Computer Science teaching.
This study is funded by the Department for Education (DfE) and the research will be conducted independently by researchers from the University of Brighton.
