Dodona: Learn to cope with a virtual co-teacher that supports active learning. SoftwareX 24, 101578. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.softx.2023.101578 Ghent University is a public research university located in Ghent, Belgium. Located in Flanders, Ghent University is one of the largest Belgian universities, consisting of 50,000 students and 9,000 staff members. Dodona is an AI-based tool for teachers and students of secondary and HE: 17 499 579 Submitted solutions, 68 267 Students, 16 738 Exercises, 1 756 Schools The tool is being developed by Jorg Van Renterghem, Charlotte Van Petegem, Niko Strijbol, Rien Maertens, Peter Dawyndt, and Bart Mesuere from the Applied Mathematics and Statistics department at Ghent University. The platform is completely open source: all code is available on GitHub. At the moment, Dodona supports the programming languages Python, JavaScript, Java, Kotlin, C#, bash, Prolog, Haskell and R. Dodona is free to use and has more than 50 thousand registered users across many educational and research institutions, including 15 thousand new users in 2022. There is also scientific research related to Dodona: https://dodona.be/nl/publications/ Description of case Dodona (dodona.ugent.be) is a free online practice platform to learn programming. It aims to teach students to programme in the most meaningful and effective way possible by using different computer technologies to apply the benefits of personalised guidance in contexts where students would otherwise only have access to classroom guidance (e.g. lectures and tutorials) or not even direct guidance (e.g. independent work and homework). Dodona acts like an online co-teacher designed to give every student access to high-quality education. The focus is on automatically improving and providing meaningful feedback on student solutions submitted. Teachers can create their own course, consisting of different series of exercises. They can rely on existing courses and exercises but can also choose to get started
