Somewhat acceptable tool with IDE and LMS however poor customer support **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2024 **What do you like best about Codio?** Can create course using multiple projects/languages **What do you dislike about Codio?** - 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 techical expertise as compared to all the paltforms I have used in the past **What problems is Codio solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am only using Codio because my favorite platform Coding Rooms doesn't offer it's services anymore. Unfortnatley Codio has a long way to go to meet the standard. I teach various Computer Science courses to high school students for which I needed an online IDE with LMS/LTI, however, the platform is clunky, slow, difficult to work with, have errors and tons of LMS features missing ### 2. Very Effective and Efficient Way to Learn Code! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Aqil A. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2024 **What do you like best about Codio?** 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. **What do you dislike about Codio?** The downsides of codio are the fact that the curriculum can be messy and disorganized, which can hamper your coding experience. **What problems is Codio solving and how is that benefiting you?** Codio is helping a beginner like me learn the basics of coding, which can help build a strong foundation that can eventually be implemented into other work related areas. ### 3. Good for shortilisting candidates using automated assessments **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2024 **What do you like best about Codio?** - Automated assessments and predefined templates save time while hiring - Easy to use - It can be accessed from anywhere since it is a cloud-based platform **What do you dislike about Codio?** - Learning curve is steep for new coders - It's expensive - Offline mode is not supported in the IDE **What problems is Codio solving and how is that benefiting you?** - helps in shortlisting the candidates using automated assessment - saves times - Provide useful insights which helps to decide whether the candidate is right fit for the role or not ### 4. An excellent tool to teach coding **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Edward H. | Teacher, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2022 **What do you like best about Codio?** 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. **What do you dislike about Codio?** 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. **What problems is Codio solving and how is that benefiting you?** I was introduced to Python by Codio as a student and now I am teaching Python to my students I am once again an enthusiastic user. Codios courses are well made and it's easy to see what your students will be experiencing. ### 5. A well planned & executed platform. There is a solution for all the requirements. Kudos to the team! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bhavesh S. | Product Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2021 **What do you like best about Codio?** 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. **What do you dislike about Codio?** 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. **Recommendations to others considering Codio:** Codio offers a lot of flexibility for the person who configures the courses. Having coding knowledge is beneficial if you want to make use of its exciting features. **What problems is Codio solving and how is that benefiting you?** The main problem codio helped us solve is the code based multiple choice questions. Also, the code debugging helped a lot in understanding how a student is planning his code. This helped us get deeper into the students thoughts and help him understand the code planning aspect too. ### 6. I have had an extremely positive experience using Codio **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 31, 2021 **What do you like best about Codio?** 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. **What do you dislike about Codio?** At times there were bugs when I was using it in Ocaml and they went away after I simply refreshed the page. **Recommendations to others considering Codio:** Codio is really incredible and I have enjoyed using it a lot with students. It has made my job so much easier as a teaching assistant **What problems is Codio solving and how is that benefiting you?** I was able to make an application in OCaml that is very similar to Microsoft Paint and this was a very great learning experience for me. ### 7. Good platform, but could use a few upgrades **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Katharine S. | Doctoral Student, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2021 **What do you like best about Codio?** 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. **What do you dislike about Codio?** 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. **What problems is Codio solving and how is that benefiting you?** We used this for a college course. Students were having trouble 1) installing R and R Studio on their local machines and 2) submitting assignments in a uniform way. This platform took care of both of these problems making it easier for students to get started on assignments. For the TA's of the course, this also made grading the assignments quicker. ### 8. Great computer science teaching tool **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2021 **What do you like best about Codio?** Embedded programming assignments, the built-in compiler, variety of curricula. **What do you dislike about Codio?** 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. **What problems is Codio solving and how is that benefiting you?** I teach an introductory computer science elective and use Codio for that purpose. Automated grading of assignments is a very nice feature that saves some time. It is, however, far from being perfect as it marks many correctly implemented programs as wrong, thus lowering student grades, simply because students' implementations may be written slightly differently than the code in the answer key. ### 9. Literally everything you need to teach a hands-on programming course in one platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2021 **What do you like best about Codio?** 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! **What do you dislike about Codio?** 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. **Recommendations to others considering Codio:** There's nothing like it; I highly recommend it. **What problems is Codio solving and how is that benefiting you?** Code auto-grading has given me a life again. I also don't have to deal with tech issues because students are on different setups. They all get easy access to Codio through a web browser. ### 10. Review of Codio **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** William G. | Teaching Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2021 **What do you like best about Codio?** 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. **What do you dislike about Codio?** 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. **What problems is Codio solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have solved trying to give students a standardized box and not have to help them set up a development environment on their computer, which, especially for rarer languages like OCaml, can be quite tricky. ### 11. The Modern Way to Learn Coding **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** William P. | Computing Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2021 **What do you like best about Codio?** I love how smooth the interface is and how it everything seems to just work well together **What do you dislike about Codio?** There isn't anything I don't like about Codio, most issues I have I report them and they get dealt with **Recommendations to others considering Codio:** Nothing, keep being awesome! **What problems is Codio solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are solving the problem of finding efficient ways to teach people how to code ### 12.

An invaluable IDE! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 27, 2021 **What do you like best about Codio?** The choice of tools that it has and the programming languages it can accommodate. Great to have the ability to suggest changes (or add your "2 cents/pence" to an existing suggestion) and then get updates on it. **What do you dislike about Codio?** There's not much to dislike. Keep up the good work! **What problems is Codio solving and how is that benefiting you?** We've been able to ensure that our fully online course is actually online. Codio acts as our "Computing Lab", and it is compatible with all OSs ### 14.
