There are 9 Lessons with 5 tasks each and 1 review quiz at the end of the tutorials. These lessons range from "Introduction to the concepts in lessons 1-10" "Learn what a variable is and why you need them" to "Learn how + works with strings and numbers".
Key Principals:
Code Avengers lessons were designed with the following key principles:
* Beginner terminology - use words familiar to non-programmers
* Less reading more doing – learners want to read as little as possible
* Difficulty level – senior high school students are able to complete the lessons
* Explain the why and not just the what when teaching new concepts
* Incorporate badges, points, levels - everyone loves getting badges
* Quality feedback - effective interactive tutorials must detect and offer helpful feedback when the learners make mistakes
* Practical examples - lessons include examples that are as ‘real world’ as possible
* Games and code challenges – goal is for the lessons to be fun and effective
Code Avengers is great for teachers and students. Founded by Michael Walmsley and co-founded by Andrew Gale, Code Avengers looks to make the site as friendly and easy to use while provide a great learning experience for all its users.
Check out the Code Avengers Infographic I made below, I had such a fun time exploring the site and found it easy to use with simple navigation. The JavaScript code examples are for beginners to intermediate and they let you dive right away into learning JavaScript code's by providing you with real world examples you can work on and run live from the site.
One nice thing I like about the site is it saves your work in progress and if you make a mistake, no problem, they detect it and offer feedback. Check out the Infographic I made below to find out some of the lessons offered within the site.
