Can create course using multiple projects/languages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Not able to create sections within a course (never heard of any LMS not allowing this)

- Poor customer support, do not have solutions to any questions you ask.

- Lack of technical expertise as compared to all the platforms I have used in the past Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The upsides of using Codio are the fact that you can learn multiple different languages of code, as well as have tutorials that will guide you along the way. Its very easy to just sit down for a few minutes every day and learn something new with this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downsides of codio are the fact that the curriculum can be messy and disorganized, which can hamper your coding experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Topics are laid out in an order and in a way that makes sense to learners. The tasks increase in challenge in a very sensible and engaging way. Learners are always having to think for themselves but not thrown in at the deep end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Codio sometimes makes use of drag-and-drop exercises. Sometimes it is unclear which part of your drag-and-dropped code is causing the error. It could be more helpful to have feedback presented in the way that it would appear as if that drag-and-dropped code had been entered into a command line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was amazed by the sandboxes given to each user and what the sandboxes can do, one place for all, terminal + UI + inputs + outputs. The layout flexibility available to use according to need was also impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no overall aggregation of scores, like if I need to have ten questions and results based on the questions passed. This option would have been beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my time using it as a teaching assistant, Codio made it very easy for me to have a look at students' code and collaborate with them on assignments. I have thoroughly enjoyed using it as a student too as my code was very clear and clean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times there were bugs when I was using it in Ocaml and they went away after I simply refreshed the page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the grading options where you can see student responses on the left and leave comments on the right. I also like the student side of codio where the R environment truly maps the R studio interface. I've seen some other platforms add special functionality only for their platform and that can be confusing for students just learning to code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would have been nice if there was an automatic code grader for the student assignments or at the very least an option to run the student submitted code. I've used other coding software for homework in the past with automatic graders and this really helps the students to see whether they got the answer wrong right away making the grading much faster for TA's because we only have to focus on grading the written responses to the questions instead of editing their code. One final issue was with Codio integrating into Canvas. Specifically, the assignments part of Canvas never updated when a student submitted their Codio assignment so we could never be certain when a student submitted their assignment without going into Codio.

Embedded programming assignments, the built-in compiler, variety of curricula. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Accessing and analyzing student progress data is not user-friendly and confusing. Open-ended programming assignments do not allow for alternate solutions and mark perfectly fine code that meets all the requirements and completes the given tasks as wrong if there is any slightest deviation from the solution key code.

It's incredibly easy to get started. I can configure a learner environment in just about any language in just a few clicks. I also love the editable courseware! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very little. I'd like to see some kind of customer / user community where people can connect and share how they use Codio, get tips, or ask questions about how others do things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a teacher, I enjoy how boxes are setup and how I am able to enter into student's boxes while they are working on a project. It makes remote debugging of student code so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the Codio IDE was better. There are many other website implementations of great IDEs (such as VSCode), and it would be great to see Codio adopt one of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
