A code editor that lives where students already work

Students click an assignment in Canvas, Blackboard, or Moodle and start writing code immediately. Nothing to install, nothing to configure.

CodeGrade's online IDE with Python code and AutoTest feedback, seamlessly embedded within an LMS assignment.CodeGrade's automatic grading results for a quiz, showing syntax and output checks, integrated within an LMS.

1. Students click the assignment and start coding

No installing Python. No fighting PATH variables on Windows. No "it works on my machine" emails at midnight. Students open the assignment in their LMS and the editor is right there, ready to go.

The assignment description opens as a tab inside the editor. Students read the prompt, write their code, and run the autograder without switching tools or windows.

  • Opens instantly inside Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, or Brightspace
  • Assignment description, code editor, and test results all in one place
  • Nothing to install, not even for students on Chromebooks

2. Syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and built-in autograding

The editor does what students expect from a modern code editor: syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and file management. Students can create files and directories, organize multi-file projects, and work the way they would in a local setup.

When they're ready, they run the autograder directly from the editor and see results immediately. No separate submission step, no waiting for grades.

  • Syntax highlighting and autocomplete for 175+ languages
  • Full file and directory support for multi-file projects
  • Run the autograder and see results without leaving the editor

3. From single-file Python scripts to multi-file projects

Teaching intro Python? Students write a single file and check their work in seconds. Running a software engineering course? Students build multi-file projects with proper directory structure, just like they would in a professional environment.

The editor handles whatever your course needs. If the autograder can grade it, the editor can run it.

  • Works for any course, from intro to advanced
  • Single-file scripts or multi-directory projects
  • Free for courses up to 50 students. No trial, no expiration.
