Code replay for programming instructors

See how students write code, not just what they submit.

Understand how students develop solutions, revise their approach, and learn through coding. Review the process alongside the final result.

Understand the process

Review how a student's code changes from the first attempt to the final solution.

Give more useful feedback

Identify moments where students revised an approach or overcame a difficult problem.

Review with context

Use replay alongside grading and instructor judgment. Coding patterns alone do not establish misconduct.

Why code replay matters in programming courses

Traditional assessment often focuses on a final submission. Code replay helps instructors revisit the development process and discuss debugging, revision, and problem-solving with students.

How can instructors use it?

In a Python exercise, for example, an instructor might review how a student revised a loop, tried an edge case, and corrected a solution. This can support feedback about reasoning rather than just the final grade.

One connected assessment workflow

Combine code replay, automated grading, individualized scaffolding, and reusable questions in Coduma.

Respect student privacy

Explain what activity is recorded and how it will be used. Replay should support instruction and fair review, not automatic accusations. Read Coduma's privacy and security information.
