Summary
Zenva Schools provides easy access to blank code snippets, which can be used as in-browser code editors for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python-based projects. Through this, we aim to address challenges related to software installations. This feature empowers educators to seamlessly integrate coding activities into their teaching and provides students with a place to practice coding in a controlled and accessible environment.
Limitations
Please note the following limitations with these tools.
Language Support
Our coding tools support HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and Python Turtle. Please be aware that these tools are tailored to these specific languages and libraries due to inherent limitations with in-browser solutions. At this time, they cannot be utilized with other programming languages or libraries.
Non-Saveable Environment
Code snippets offered with these in-browser solutions do not facilitate the saving of work. However, students have the option to download a copy of their code or copy and paste it into a local code environment in order to save it for later reference.
To access these tools, both teachers and students can go to Courses > Student Tools from the main navigation bar. From there, you will see a dropdown list of the available tool options.
Domain Whitelisting for Seamless Functionality
To ensure the smooth functionality of these coding tools, teachers may need to whitelist specific domains related to them. For more detailed instructions on what domains need to be whitelisted, please refer to the following article:
