Designing effective in-class experiences takes time. Codon is here to help.
Meet Tadpoll: included with all codon courses
starting fall 2025
An easy-to-use polling tool
Students solve problems with peers during class and poll in using any device. Instructors assess student understanding in real time and adjust instruction.
Organize your course with a single platform supporting every stage of the high-structure learning cycle: pre-class prep, in-class active learning, and post-class self testing.
real-time metacognition
Students judge their confidence level before submitting their response, just like every other formative assessment in Codon.
Instructors use the Muddy Meter to see where students lack clarity, then gauge how much time to spend debriefing on each question.
in-class activities: Available with the introducing the life sciences course STArting summer 2025
MAXIMIZE ACTIVE LEARNING
Codon's ready-to-use in-class activities support spending 80-100% of class time on active learning. Or, pick and choose by downloading our slides and blending them with yours.
The evidence is clear: active learning promotes success for all students, especially those who arrive to college underprepared.
SPARK STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
Our in-class activities couple real-life relevancy with solidifying foundational understanding. Students practice thinking like real scientsts as they build knowledge.
