I agree with not designing curricula around jobs of the future but do you mean we shouldn’t teach coding at all?

So sorry I just saw Ben’s reply, I didn’t mean to cause offence

Saying that it does have scary implications for exam markers when GCSE’s etc go online.

I’m not suggesting not looking at the student work that would be daft (as an understatement).

I fear I have done the program I use an I injustice. The level of feedback I get on a whole class and individual level especially after a few weeks is amazing.
It also gives the students a break down of they need to revise as as well as the areas they know well with a personalised list of videos.

Well yes that is perhaps naivety on my part.

But that happens with everything as one job is reduced another increases or takes its place. If I can quickly create a series of questions or mark homework then spend the time on something else, that’s a good thing to me.

I use it for diagnostic questions with the right prompt its accurate and saves me a lot of time.

It’s also used within a homework package we use and that self marks essay questions very accurately, I can (and do?check and amend before the marks go to students.

When HMT write to every department saying "hey why not spend a bit more? Live a little" then that will be news...
