In their own words
Codio
Its browser-based IDE provides managed containers, virtual machines, and GPU-powered environments that the site says start in under five seconds. Assessment tools include real-time code checks, rubric-based scoring, automated feedback, and grading. Codio Coach provides contextual feedback and Socratic hints, while AI Curriculum Assist can generate or refresh labs, exercises, assignments, and assessments. Keystroke-level behavioral insights and learner analytics help surface learner difficulties and track performance. Codio supports LMS integrations through LTI, including Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, and Brightspace, along with GitHub workflows. The Codio LTI App is for LTI 1.1 and the US version of Codio; it does not work with Codio UK. New organizations can start a free trial with unlimited course and lab creation, live chat, and an onboarding session, but no duration is stated. Plans include ongoing in-platform live chat support; enhanced support and a dedicated customer success manager are optional.
