Is Vocareum a good fit for you?
If you're teaching a course that teaches students how to write code, Vocareum may be for you. It eliminates the frustrations of maintaining identical Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) on each student computer, Instructor and graders. Vocareum provides a single cloud environment all can use.
What else does Vocareum do?
- Instructors are able to create grading scripts to auto-grade coding assignments.
- Instructors are able to create assignments with rules and resources for peer review and team projects.
- Programming languages supported: C/C++, Python, Java, Julia, R -language, Spin, Erlang, Go, OCaml, and Scala. See https://www.vocareum.com/home/programming-lab/ for current listing.
- Coursework supported: Programming, Big Data, Data Science, Embedded components, Robotics, Internet of things, Cloud Computing.
- Vocareum, if you choose to integrate with Sakai, automatically pushes grades back to the Sakai gradebook from the Vocareum system and automatically discovers and populates within Vocareum the class roster.
- Students and Instructors don't need to set up desktop Integrated Development Environments (IDE); Vocareum is cloud-based. Everyone uses the same IDE.
