WebIDE

  • WebIDE is an intelligent tutor system designed for the first few weeks when learning to write computer programs.
  • WebIDE is an install-free, super-simple development environment with the familiarity of the web.
    • Eventually students will need to learn a professional editor and tools in a command-line environment and/or a GUI IDE, but WebIDE gives the option to skip all that and focus on programming from day one.

  • WebIDE has been shown to significantly improve student performance.  Read more on our Results page.
