Dodona's design decisions have allowed it to spread to more than 1\thinsp{}000 schools, colleges and universities, mainly in Flanders (Belgium) and the Netherlands.
The renewed interest in embedding computational thinking in formal education has undoubtedly been an important stimulus for such a wide uptake\nbsp{}[cite:@wingComputationalThinking2006].
All other educational institutions use the version of Dodona hosted at Ghent University, which is free to use for educational purposes.
Dodona currently hosts a collection of 15 thousand learning activities that are freely available to all teachers, allowing them to create their own learning paths tailored to their teaching practice.
In total, 61 thousand students have submitted more than 15 million solutions to Dodona in the seven years that it has been running (Figures\nbsp{}[[fig:useadoption1]] & [[fig:useadoption2]]).

A qualitative user experience study of Dodona was performed in 2018.
271 higher education students responded to a questionnaire that contained the following three questions:
#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment enumerate*
#+ATTR_LATEX: :options [label={\emph{\roman*)}}, itemjoin={{ }}, itemjoin*={{ }}]
- What are the things you value while working with Dodona?
- What are the things that bother you while working with Dodona?
- What are your suggestions for improvements to Dodona?
Students praised its user-friendliness, beautiful interface, immediate feedback with visualized differences between expected and generated output, integration of the Python Tutor, linting feedback and large number of test cases.
Negative points were related to differences between the students local execution environments and the environment in which Dodona runs the tests, and the strictness with which the tests are evaluated.
Other negative feedback was mostly related to individual courses the students were taking instead of the platform itself.
