Overcome challenges in your course

Scaling student engagement: You see high enrollment, making it hard to give personalized attention, especially when classes grow. 

Tech setup headaches: Beginners can get discouraged by complicated development environments. They don’t need setup hassles. They should focus on coding, not configurations.

Grading bottlenecks: Grading basic coding assignments manually is time-consuming. Ensuring every student benefits from fair and detailed feedback means lots of grading for educators.

1. Bring better engagement

Large introductory courses make it hard to give each student attention. Students lose focus without practice and timely feedback. Consistent engagement and personalized support are crucial. 

  • Coding quizzes build motivation
  • Immediate feedback solidifies skills
  • AI Assistants to guide when you aren’t there

2. Simplify the learning environment

Setting up a coding environment frustrates beginners and wastes class time. A streamlined environment is essential for students to start coding confidently. 

  • An online IDE removes setup frustrations
  • Templates and pre-made assignments
  • LMS integration to centralize learning

3. Grade efficiently

Grading shouldn't have to consume excessive time, taking away from valuable teaching moments. Instructors need flexibility to focus on guiding students and fostering deeper learning. 

  • Automatic grading for all assignments
  • Rubrics for fair evaluations
  • Inline comments pinpoint areas of improvement
