This extensive teamwide project involved converting all existing coding labs over to a new educational code editor built using GitHub Codespaces. 

ID Contributions included:

• Designing the MVP and final educational code editor platform in conjunction with the SCRUM team through sprint planning and regular standups.

• Collaborating with our larger product team to plan and execute the conversion of all lab assignments across four programming languages and 40+ titles;

• Writing and creating onboarding documents for students and instructors;

• Scripting and recording instructional videos for students around how to use the features of the new code editor;

• Demonstrating the new code editor environment to instructors at our organization’s industry conference.

This first edition title is still in development. 

ID Contributions included:

• Researching and creating preliminary table of contents and curriculum mapping to be circulated to industry SMEs and instructors;

• Guiding the development of the extended TOC and corresponding learning objectives, against which the textbook and accompanying assessments/labs/activities will be developed;

• Onboarding the author, reviewers, and developmental editor to the project via authoring  guidelines and a learning design plan;

• Reviewing chapters and providing critical feedback and suggestions through regular meetings and content review. 

The arrival of LLMs and Generative AI is significantly disrupting the current computing curriculum across educational and training institutions. Consequently, the full suite of educational offerings will need to be revised and redesigned to meet evolving learner needs and employer requirements.

ID Contributions included: 

• Researching the development of AI and its impact on future curriculum and educational content; 

• Consulting with instructors and industry experts to identify key changes and needs;

• Mapping  new pedagogy and curriculum against current  offerings;

• Planning general design and content implementations for future revisions that reflect the realities of changing requirements and expectations for programmers/developers entering the workforce.
