Workflow differences

CodeGrade allows you to set up your assignments easily and intuitively. You can customize the autograder depending on the level and requirements of your assignment. Our autograder does not simply look for a specific output, but can assess submissions in various ways. For a beginner coding assignment, minor errors or superfluous code structure can be separated from more important parameters like code functionality. CodeGrade’s autograder can adapt as assignments become more advanced and accept various solutions. Our product can support any programming language and testing framework, and you can download and install any packages required for your assignments.

zyBooks offers an interactive textbook with animations and high production value. With the additional inclusion of zyLabs, teachers are now able to select programming assignments from a widely available/used assignment bank that matches their syllabus to assess students. Flexibility for correct solutions can be limited. Teachers have the option to create their own assignments, but testing capabilities are limited.

With CodeGrade, we are built to be a seamless integration for education. The setup process is quick and painless, and students never have to leave the LMS to submit work, or to view their results. If an LMS integration is not possible, we also function as a standalone platform and support single-sign on (SSO), so students can login with their institution account.

Onboarding and support

CodeGrade's intuitive setup interface ensures a smooth start, optionally complemented by API configuration. The onboarding process establishes your course in under an hour, with unlimited support across all licenses. Additional onboarding sessions and timely assistance via call or email are available.
