New Supportive Features for the Online Coding Tutorial Systems: The Learners and Educators Perspectives
Ohud Abdullah Alasmari, Jeremy Singer, Mireilla Bikanga Ada · 2024
The online coding tutorial systems offer learners a flexible and accessible platform to acquire coding skills, while educators benefit from the ability to monitor progress, provide personalised feedback, and facilitate effective instruction at scale.However, to develop truly effective and engaging online coding tutorial systems, it is crucial to understand the dual perspectives of both learners and educators.This paper presents learners and educators feedback on an initial list of supportive features that have been identified in a previous study to enhance the quality of designing online coding tutorial systems (OCTSs).An online questionnaire was distributed among 37 learners and educators from Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, and other locations to investigate their needs and measure their satisfaction with the list of supportive features that are provided by the current online coding tutorial system called LearnPython.Finally, this study offers some suggestions for supportive features to enhance the quality of designing OCTSs totally based on learners and educators experiences.
