Theory Slides

Slides can help you introduce concepts clearly on their own page - keep it succinct to keep learners engaged.

Bitesized Sections

Sections allow you to introduce more complex concepts comprehensively but without overwhelming the learner.

Multiple Choice

MCQ’s are a classic tool to assess understanding and they can be used to great effect when reinforcing knowledge.

Missing Word

Embed missing-word dropdown questions any place in your material to force engagement from learners there and then.

Missing Code - Blocks

Scaffold code for students with ommitted blocks - require them to complete the code to safely practice new concepts

A code editor with a scaffolded problem when the user needs to print a conversation to the console by clicking on the correct code blocks.

Missing Code - Typed

Scaffold code for students with ommitted typed input sections - requiring them to type real code and build habits gradully

A code editor with some code missing where the users needs to fill in the gap with the correct code.

Parsons Problem

Write some code, we randomly reorder it and students have to put it back in working order for great sequence practice

Online Text Editors

Allow students to write their own code in contained editors the browser in Python, Javascript, HTML and CSS.

Call Out Blocks

Use call out blocks for summary slides, concept definitions, new functions and much more.

A summary page that has several key words defined.

Help on hover

Embed important knowledge with a simple hover - and link out to more comprehensive help documenation.

Additional information about the print function is displayed in a popover when the user hovers over the word print in the question.

Help at hand

Auto-generate a help sidebar by tagging key concepts in a slide to allow learners to develop self-sufficiency strategies.

The Turinglab help sidebar being used as a reference. There are links for relevant concepts as well as a degbugging tips section.

Hints

Show and hide hints so that students can try for themselves, but can get that extra tip which might make all the difference

A problem about casting to integers where the student must enter some code. Below there is a hint button that has been pressed to reveal a useful hint.

Explanations

Provide detailed feedback for learners when they make a mistake to help correct common misconceptions.

A multiple choice question that has been answered incorrectly. Below is an explanation as to why the answer is incorrect.

Turinglab Course are typically composed of three types

Lesson / Quiz

Interactive lessons introduce concepts while reinforcing with practical problems, while quizzes test learner knowledge using the same tools.

Tutorial

Tutorials offer the ability to provide scaffolded code and step-by-step instructions in a sidebar so students can follow along. Challenges allow you to specify a brief and set requirements, all of which are independently markable.
