The Codio platform provides everything instructors need to deliver courses and everything students need to code.
Each student automatically gets a cloud-based virtual server as well as a browser-based IDE. The virtual server has the entire software stack necessary for students to write, compile and execute code during the course.
The following stack components were installed and configured into the virtual server template by faculty and without any assistance from Codio or special modifications of the Codio product.
Codio provides the framework for each student’s work to be automatically graded. In this case, a specialized Python grading script was custom-written by our faculty. The grading results are then fed back to the Canvas LMS platform.
The integrated nature of the Codio platform is very important. Without a fully automated and integrated approach, the department would have had to solve many individual technical problems and then integrate them.
Integrations with edX and LMS would also have had to be tackled. In short, there are myriad components, integrations, and issues that would need to be managed if we weren't using an integrated platform such as Codio. These include:
Codio takes care of all of these features such that every aspect of the course work can be delivered using only a browser and without students needing to install a thing.
"What we love about Codio is the ease of configuration for any programming scenario and the fact that we can configure it entirely ourselves. Its integrated nature, flexibility, and the fact that all students need is a browser are fantastic."
It only tasks a minute to sign up and you'll have unrestricted access to all of Codio's content authoring, auto-grading, editable course materials, and more.
