As coding continues to play a critical role across industries, universities are increasingly embedding it into programs beyond traditional computer science. At IE Business School, programming is a core part of the Information Management curriculum, equipping students with the technical fluency and collaborative mindset needed in today’s data-driven roles.
In this third-year course, students strengthen their foundational programming skills while learning how software is developed in real-world, team-based settings. To support this approach, the instructor implemented a flipped classroom model powered by FeedbackFruits’ Interactive Document — enabling students to actively engage with course material before class, ask questions, and collaborate with peers in a structured, supportive environment.
In the real world developers don't play solo, they usually work on teams. Hence, the teacher aimed to activate students, stimulate collaboration and foster knowledge sharing between students.
