What Kita is
Kita is a web workspace for computing education in which students code together while instructors monitor progress and assess work in real time. It is designed for education from secondary school through university, with the Teacher plan described as suitable from primary level through higher education. Teachers can create and adapt courses, run live pair programming, organize cohorts and groups, collect code submissions, assess work, and use AI-enhanced bulk marking. Kita says its AI is transparent and auditable, with teachers controlling classroom use. The platform lists Python, JavaScript, Pandas, Tkinter, and matplotlib support. Coder accounts provide free courses and projects, project creation and saving, sharing, and collaborative coding. The Teacher plan is free during a launch offer for one teacher and up to 30 students, with 30 submissions monthly. Multiple Teachers costs £99 a year for up to 200 students and three teachers, with unlimited AI-enhanced bulk marking. Analytics, a dashboard, and an AI interaction monitor are listed as coming soon.
