You can create and publish programming courses on Stepik (platform for online courses) using EduTools plugin (educational plugin for learning and teaching programming languages).
You will get all the advantages of online LMS (Learning Management System) and standalone IDE (Integrated Development Environment), working together to help your students learn programming with ease.
Key features
- Learners get real-world programming experience by solving problems within intelligent IDE (connected to Stepik).
- All learners' submissions are stored online, so educators can easily give personal feedback to their learners.
- Educators can setup deadlines, monitor personal grades and overall gradebook, send course announcements, enroll / unenroll learners, add additional materials into the course (texts, videos, file attachments, quizzes).
Currently, we support the following programming languages: Java, Kotlin, Python, JavaScript, Scala, C/C++, and Rust.
