One integrated solution, eight outstanding benefits
Maximized tutor productivity
Tutors improve their productivity with automation of the code assessment process. This allows you to process more content while leading lessons.
Instant feedback
Students get instant feedback on their work in real-time. Waiting for a manual review is no longer necessary.
Superior teaching
Sphere Engine for Education allows tutors to dedicate more time to each student. Automation of time-consuming tasks frees teachers up to focus on direct student interaction.
Flexible assessment
Flexibility of judging programmes allows talented students to solve tasks in a creative way. This improves engagement through consistently challenging problems to solve.
Greater tutor control
Benefit from all-in-one-place code organization and assignment storage, for easy management. Tutors have centralized control with access to all past assignments, making it straightforward to monitor student progress.
Enhanced student engagement with competition
Tutors can create competitive assignments to boost student engagement levels. Students see each other’s development under competition-led lessons, which motivates them individually to reflect on their own code, and on how to improve further.
Real-time tutor availability
As Sphere Engine for Education focuses on automating time-consuming tasks, tutors are free to spend more time directly involved in lessons in person. This affords the opportunity to provide feedback to students as soon as a query or problem arises. This helps avoid bottlenecks in the learning process and contributes to a more efficient, productive learning experience.
Greater ease of communication
The Sphere Engine solution offers tutors and students an additional communication channel, designed specifically to aid understanding and improve interaction efficiency. Tutors can comment on each source code submission remotely, allowing for specific, detailed feedback for each and every student. In turn, students can contact tutors for further discussion.
