Teaching software development the easy way using GitLab

Teaching software development at scale presents challenges in assignment distribution and feedback, which the GitLab for Education program addresses by providing educational institutions with free access to GitLab Ultimate. Stephen G. Dame, a lecturer at the University of Washington, Bothell, utilizes GitLab to manage course materials, assignments, and feedback, reflecting real-world software development workflows. His structured use of GitLab's Groups and Subgroups allows for organized courses, maintaining privacy for solution codes, and controlled access for students and graders. Students manage version control through private repositories, submitting assignments via merge requests, which facilitates contextual feedback. Automation with GitLab's REST API helps manage large classes, and the initial setup leads to a self-sustaining system that immerses students in professional-grade development practices.
