    Requirements

    What we needed

    The main challenge was getting the right applications installed. If we needed to make a change in the middle of the semester it caused a big headache. Codio allowed us to have a complete environment in the cloud. So, if I decided that in the middle of the semester I want to teach prolog, I myself can install the stack and configure it and do all of that myself without bothering the staff. It has been a great, great time saver.

    Cloud IDE
    "Ready-to-go" IDE with zero configuration needed
    Level the Student Experience

    Background

    Why we chose Codio

    Florida A&M University offers three competitive majors in the Department of Computer and Information Sciences–Computer Information Systems, Computer Science, and Information Technology. These majors prepare undergraduate students for careers across a variety of technology, government, healthcare, and traditional business industries. 
    Students are also well-prepared to further their academic journey and enter graduate school.  There are currently 250 undergraduate majors in the department, with 30-50 students graduating each year. Florida A&M University also offers a Master of Software Engineering within the Department of Computer and Information Sciences.
    Benefits

    Teaching with Codio

    Courses Taught With Codio

    • Programming Theory
    • Web Theory
    • Mobile Programming
    • Software engineering

    We have students with iOS operating system. We have students with Windows. We have students who are using tablets, and they can have a consistent look and feeling environment no matter what platform or hardware they choose to access Codio.

    This semester is the first year we decided to teach a computer programming course to non-Majors. And I immediately wanted it to be Codio. The students are already intimidated by computers and programming. So, I needed an environment that was friendly, accessible and something they can easily grasp.
