Bringing social perspective into the IT

EduHund is great with its practice orientation. It is built around real-life problem-solving accompanied by just the right amount of theory. The tasks are based on real-life cases, which are provided with detailed descriptions. The grouping of tasks in plot-like structures makes solving them feel like playing a video game or reading an interactive book. For every task, you can read an author's explanation so that you can see not only what answer is correct (which is rather subjective, so you always have an option to disagree, explain why your solution is better and still get the score), but also why the authors consider it as such. In my opinion, these insights are even more fruitful than any theoretical explanations. Not only does EduHund provide you with samples, but it also constantly stimulates your reflection on your current actual work tasks. One moment you type some of your actual tasks as a response to the question, and the next moment the system asks you to analyze them, delegate them, and deliver them to the team members, considering their skills, business requirements, and project context. This is really more of a mentoring approach than just solving problems unrelated to my personal needs. Lastly, I would like to mention the style of text and visuals used in EduHund. They are engaging and often make you smile.
