Dr Pauli Lai won the eLearning Forum Asia 2022 Exemplary Teaching and Learning Silver Award for recognizing her initiative on the development of online coding platform! Established in 2019, the eLearning Forum Asia Awards abide to the mission of eLearning Forum Asia to promote the nexus between education and technology, through facilitating the exchange of challenges and successes experienced by different institutions. Dr Lai and her project team members, Mr Ivan Lau and Mr Richard Pang, developed an online coding platform, Codatus, which allows students to use a browser to work on the coding exercises. Codatus allows teachers to customize the question sets and answers for auto-grading. The platform also features an issue tracking function to let students tie their enquiries to the relevant questions and previous attempt records. It also provides a collaborative code-writing feature to pair up students for collaborative editing. This winning project is innovative in reinventing the process of practical coding classes supported by Codatus's unique features. Students also find the platform useful and convenient to facilitate their learning.
