Problem
Computing teachers often struggle with fragmented tools that require switching between multiple systems for coding instruction, student monitoring, and feedback delivery. Traditional feedback methods are delayed until after lessons end, missing the critical moment when students need support while actively coding. Additionally, teachers face challenges integrating AI into classrooms while maintaining appropriate oversight and control.
Solution
Kita provides an all-in-one platform that supports the full computing education journey from secondary school through university, combining coding environments, live teaching tools, and AI assistance in a single system. The platform enables real-time formative feedback, allowing teachers to support students while they are still coding rather than correcting work after the lesson has ended. Teachers can see how every student is progressing as they code in real time, providing immediate insight into individual and class-wide understanding. Kita's AI features are transparent, auditable, and fully controlled by the teacher, ensuring students receive support without losing oversight. The platform reduces tool-switching and administrative load, giving teachers more time for actual instruction.
Target Audience
Primary users are computing teachers and educators at secondary schools and universities who need integrated tools for coding instruction, student monitoring, and AI-assisted teaching. The platform is also used by school partners including the University of Brighton, Bournemouth College School, and several secondary schools.
