Hi all!

I got the news today about repl.it eliminating teams and basically eliminating their education part. I have built a lot of my curriculum on repl.it. I will start to transfer things to another system if I can. I have used repl.it for my ECS class and my Intro to Computer Programming class. Does anyone have any recommendations of online IDE's? Does anyone use repl.it without teams?

Thanks for sharing ideas.

Samantha

I do use replit.it without the teams portion.  My students currently are programming on Chromebooks and my web design students are using it to create web pages.  All my curriculum is just in Google docs, slides and classroom.  I provide some starter links that students fork and they send me the link to the replit when done.  

I'm hoping to actually get computers next year and then transition to a different platform but for now its working for me.

I will be following this feed closely, because I also use repl.it in my programming classes.

I checked out codehs.com and it seems promising. Unfortunately, at this time, I don't have the time to completely deep dive.

I know the Reedsburg CS teacher is using codehs.com
I use the cybersecurity course in my Computer Science Principles second semester.  
Portage is possibly going to the paid subscription because in the free version I use codehs.com is cumbersome to grade.

I use codehs.com (fortunately my admin lets me have the paid version, Pro) and I really like it.  They have a lot of courses and you can customize your own course using theirs.  I liked code.org better for AP CSP but I liked codehs.com for AP CSA better.  I also use it for some middle school exploratory and beginning programming classes.

We have a 30 student/seat license.  It is nice because I can switch students in and out as needed and switch which classes have the Pro status as needed as well.

Brent Scott (Reagan HS) and I (Rufus King HS) use codehs along with some others in MPS. We like it. Our district paid for the Pro version this year and I'm not sure that it's necessary for how I use the platform. 

I like the Sandbox feature and the fact that you can create your own assignments and auto-check/evaluate those assignments.

We spent time this summer aligning our curriculums and so far it's going well.

Not saying that this an option for everyone as it does take some time and effort to setup and learn the platform but there is a GitHub Classroom (https://classroom.github.com/) that can be used to assign coding assignments and students can submit them through it as well as setup auto-check for assignments as well.  I have only tested it with a small group and used desktop IDE's with it so I'm not sure how it scales but some student's liked it because they could start building a GitHub repository of projects to showcase.

Without the pro version you can't auto-check/evaluate in codehs

Years ago I used the paid version of CodeHS. Now I use the free version. One thing that I was missing from the paid version was the ability to see student's progress. I ended up making a python script that uses CodeHS's API, gets all of my students' info, and puts it into a Google Spreadsheet every other day. So it looks nearly identical and I can see progress over time. So overall, I think that CodeHS is a great replacement.

I was using Repl.it for tests since CodeHS doesn't allow you to turn off assignments in the free version, so that was another missing feature. Now I'm in the process of making my own Replit-type setup for testing students. For right now, CodeHS is good for most of my needs. Their customer support is also top notch. 

It's amazing how there aren't many options for us. GitHub Classroom seems like a bit of a pain to work with. At least the little bit I've done. It gives the illusion of niceness with the annoying-ness of pulls, commits, and everything else. Plus, I don't think it would be good for tests since it makes a repo for the student. So now they have the test.

Would you be willing to share that script? We use the free version of CodeHS, and I love it, but staying on top of student progress can be a pain.

If you are willing to share, I would appreciate the code so I can see student progress.  I do not have the budget
to pay for the pro version.
Thanks

Here is the code I use to get student data from CodeHS and put it in a Google Spreadsheet. I added todos in the file for things that need to be changed or setup. Hopefully it will work for someone else.
codehs_api.py

Thanks.

Unfortunately, that attachment was blocked on my email. Could anyone copy the code into the body of an email and send it out that way?

I changed it to have a .txt extension. Hopefully that can help. I've also attached the file from Google Drive.
