Give students more coding practice, without more grading

Auto-graded coding quizzes students can check instantly: question, editor, and results on one screen. The practice end of the same environment they use for assignments and exams.

A CodeGrade coding quiz: question, editor, and instant results on one screen.Multiple choice question with instant feedback in a CodeGrade quiz.

1. Question, editor, and results on one screen

Students see the question, write their answer or code directly below it, hit "check answer," and get results immediately. No file management, no submission flow, no waiting for grades. Everything happens on one screen.

Homework is becoming more formative in the AI era: practice all semester, prove it in the exam. Quizzes are how students get the reps: multiple choice and real code questions, run in the same Ubuntu environment, checked the moment they want.

  • Multiple choice and code writing questions in one quiz
  • Students write and run code directly in the browser
  • Instant results the moment they hit "check answer"
Student answering a code-writing quiz question and checking the result instantly.
Quizzes are built in the same block-based test builder as assignments.

2. Build quizzes in minutes with the block-based test builder

You already know how to set up tests in CodeGrade's block-based test builder. Quizzes work the same way. Pick your question types, write the prompts, configure the tests, and you're done. No new tools to learn.

Code writing questions run in the same full Ubuntu environment as your regular assignments. Anything you can test in an assignment, you can test in a quiz.

  • The same block-based test builder you use for assignments
  • Full Ubuntu environment for code questions, supports 175+ languages
  • Set up a quiz in minutes, not hours

3. From intro Python checkpoints to advanced systems challenges

Teaching intro Python? Create a quick multiple-choice quiz to check if students understand loops. Running an advanced systems course? Build code-writing challenges that compile and run against your test cases in a full Ubuntu environment.

Quizzes sit alongside full programming assignments in the same course, so you can mix low-stakes practice with summative grading however you want.

  • Works for any CS course, from intro to advanced
  • Mix quizzes with full programming assignments in a single course
  • Part of the Advanced plan; your first course includes quizzes free
Practice quizzes, weekly assignments, and secured exams in one environment.

Give students a place to write, run, and practice code.

Browser-based editor, Jupyter Notebooks, and auto-graded quizzes. All inside your LMS, nothing to install.
