Maybe join the universal design workshops being run by education innovation

Def! Some possible things to address this

creating 'challenge levels' for practicals - core tasks everyone must complete, plus extension activities for advanced students or starting each session with a quick skills check-in or giving pairs specific roles - 'driver/navigator' or 'code writer/error checker' - that switch halfway through

Could you rotate partnerships throughout the course so students learn from multiple peers and don't get stuck in fixed roles?

Peer teaching

Can also work by giving each other constructive feedback

What about creating a 'code snippet library' that less experienced students can draw from while advanced students build from scratch?

I find it a bit worrying with pair scaffolding, as I find some students can deliver wrong information with high confidence which might confuse better students but less confident

I don't think it is an issue - it just means that we need to think about providing different avenues for learning

Everyone learns at different paces, but they learn eventually! Everyone has different learning styles too and we need to take that into consideration
