Interactive Tasks
for theory and practice
A structured course flow that builds from easy “fill-in-the code” exercises to more challenging tasks makes for a friendly learner experience. The IDE’s programming tasks feature placeholders to be completed and helpful error messages that appear in the event that something’s not right. Detailed exercise descriptions with code samples, hints, and multiple-choice tasks help learners stay engaged and focused. Educators can easily create such interactive structured courses thanks to YAML support.
Smart Checker
thanks to integrated custom tests
Think your exercise is ready? Click the “Check” button and receive instant feedback on your submission, with hints and error messages for the most common code mistakes. This support is made possible by custom tests that educators can create with the help of unit testing frameworks in order to automatically verify learners’ submissions.
Extensive course-sharing options
for public and private access
Share your knowledge and promote best practices. Share your course publicly on JetBrains Marketplace or privately with your students or co-workers. Learners getting started with PyCharm Edu can access all publicly featured courses. So don’t hesitate to spread your knowledge!
