Automated Code.org Class Progress Digests

Every Friday, WebRun opens Code.org, checks each student's lesson and unit progress for the week, saves the progress report to Google Drive, and posts a class-wide digest to Slack for your teaching team.

In short

How do I track my class's weekly progress on Code.org?

WebRun checks Code.org every Friday for each student's lesson and unit progress, saves the week's report to Google Drive, and posts a class-wide digest to Slack naming who is stuck and who jumped ahead, so your teaching team sees the whole class's momentum without opening every student's account by hand.

  • Stuck students are flagged before they fall further behind
  • Progress reports are archived automatically every week
  • The teaching team sees class-wide momentum in one Slack post

Built for K-12 CS teachers · coding club leads · computer science departments · after-school program coordinators

Questions, answered

Does it contact students or parents directly?

No. The digest only goes to your teaching-team Slack channel. WebRun never emails or messages a student or parent on its own.

Will it change any student progress or grades?

No. It only reads progress from Code.org and reports it. Nothing in a student's account is edited.

How does it flag students who are stuck?

It compares this week's unit and lesson position against last week's, so anyone with no movement for 2 weeks is called out automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
