At Code Avengers, we know that timely, constructive feedback can make all the difference in a student's learning journey. That’s why we’re excited to announce: In-task Code Feedback! This innovative tool allows teachers to seamlessly review and comment on students' code, all within the task they've been working on. It's a game-changer for personalized learning and classroom engagement.

Why In-task Code Feedback?

Feedback is an essential part of the learning process, especially when teaching programming. With this feature, teachers can now:

  • Provide immediate feedback: Students can see your comments directly in their notifications, offering a real-time boost to their learning.
  • Personalize the learning experience: Tailor your feedback to each student, focusing on their unique challenges and strengths.
  • Streamline your workflow: All feedback is centralized in the Teacher Dashboard, keeping your teaching organized and efficient.

How Does It Work?

1. Locate and Open a Student’s Task
From the Teacher Dashboard, find the student whose code you’d like to review. Click on the specific task they’ve been working on to dive into their code.

2. Select and Comment
In the code editor, choose a specific line of code or leave a general comment for the task. Write your feedback in the comment box on the right-hand side of the screen and hit "Save."

3. Track Feedback History
Every comment you make is stored in a feedback history panel, allowing you to revisit, edit, or delete your comments at any time. This feature ensures clear communication and an ongoing record of progress.

4. Notify Your Students
Students will receive notifications about your comments in their accounts. They can review the feedback at their own pace, empowering them to make improvements and learn from their mistakes.
