With the increasing demands of computer science-related human resources, universities have gradually adjusted the curricular scheme of undergraduate students, incorporating more computer-oriented courses, such as data mining, Python programming, and database application. Conventional off-line teaching is limited to imparting theoretical knowledge to students, failing to enhance their practical abilities, which are crucial in the realm of computer-oriented courses. Therefore, based on our practical teaching experience about data mining course, we analyze the benefits and requirements of blended teaching, then leverage the distinctive characteristics and flexible features of EduCoder platform, and propose its various application approaches for computer-related majors, encompassing three aspects, i.e., daily class management, online experiment designing, and statistical analysis of studying performance. Benefiting from these application approaches, it could reduce repeated labors, alleviate teachers’ workload, enhance teaching efficiency, and improve the overall quality of practical teaching.
