* Sept. 22 Ben Saupp -- Praxly: An Online IDE for the Praxis CS Test Pseudocode

Abstract: CodeVA has a new professional development (PD) course designed to prepare Virginia high school Career Technical Education (CTE) teachers for the Praxis CS test. This test uses a pseudocode language that is different from traditional programming languages. In CodeVA’s course, teachers do not have an easy way to verify the correctness of pseudocode programs when learning and practicing. This talk will introduce Praxly, an online IDE we developed over the summer, for teachers to write, visualize, and run pseudocode. We will highlight Praxly’s implementation details, outline our current research goals, and discuss next steps for the project.
