Visit Codio

Codio is a platform for teaching software development, AI literacy, and data science through hands-on labs. It replaces the separate IDEs, grading scripts, course content, and LMS plugins that technical courses often depend on, consolidating them into a single environment so instructors spend less time on setup, troubleshooting, and manual grading.

Core capabilities include a browser-based online IDE with managed environments (containers, VMs, and GPU-powered Jupyter), instant feedback and auto-grading with rubric-based scoring, content authoring and courseware management with Git workflows, and LMS integration with one-click SSO and grade sync. AI features include Codio Coach, a context-aware assistant that explains errors and offers hints, and AI Curriculum Assist for generating and refreshing labs and assessments. Additional tools cover keystroke-level learning and behavior insights, code playback, and built-in plagiarism detection. The platform supports GitHub, JupyterLab, VSCode, and integration of custom LLMs through an API proxy with budget controls.

Codio serves educators, bootcamps and career accelerators, enterprise and developer education programs, data specialist training, and cybersecurity training. It offers a free trial and instructor and student sign-up options; specific plan editions and pricing structures are not detailed on these pages.
