Made for you

Built by a CS professor, for CS professors.

OCT was started by Jonathan Munson, a Computer Science professor at Manhattanville College, to solve the actual problems he faced while teaching undergraduates across a variety of courses.

OCT exists to solve the problems that naturally arise while instructing students, without creating new ones or steepening learning curves for you or your students.
