With a class of 30 students all working at computers, how do you know who needs your help, who is asleep in the corner, and who deserves your praise? Programming is almost certainly the trickiest element of Computer Science to teach effectively, and the goal of mbop is to change that.
mbop has been used to great success by schools in a range of different contexts, both across the UK and internationally. It improves student outcomes through its thoroughly tested and refined classwork and homework, and it lowers teacher workload through the 1,000 self-marking questions, live reporting of student progress, and its prewritten range of lesson plans, starter and plenary activities.
A qualified Computer Science teacher turned software developer, Jacob juggled the development of mbop while teaching, but has since left the profession to pursue it full-time.
