Website update 8/5/22

It’s been a while, but welcome to our latest website update where I get to tell you what I’ve been working on and update you on some of the website features and plans.

This year has been particularly busy on a personal level, but as of this Friday there should be a little less pressure and a little more time to indulge on the website.

Recently there has been a lot of behind the scenes work on fixing styling, especially of buttons which a certain plugin seems to mess about with on a consistent basis.

Online Courses

We’ve also released one of our first online courses for teaching the basics of Python. Currently consisting of 6 lessons, this course takes users slowly through the basics of Python programming using our online IDE ‘Python Online’. We expect to add more lessons to this module over time and also to introduce some more modules later this year.

We’ve also been adding audio elements to the course so that the text can be read to you to improve accessibility and add another option for people to interact with the course. These are currently still being added and are not yet all complete.

Large project in the works

We’ve got a large project that is being worked on currently that should be completed by the end of the summer that is loosely based around programming. I’m really excited by this project and believe that currently, there isn’t anything else like this. As part of the introduction of this project I’ll be releasing it into the wild for small scale testing and feedback. So if you are a teacher of KS3 and KS4 students in Computing / Computer Science and teach Python, keep your eyes peeled on the site for further announcements.

And Finally …

Thanks for reading and supporting the site. It’s really appreciated.
