An Alternative to CodeHS and JuiceMind
Classla is one course for the whole class: lessons, a browser IDE with autograders, math answers graded for equivalence, video lessons, live review games, grading, analytics and attendance, with an assistant that drafts the next assignment from what the class missed. Here is how the job you use CodeHS and JuiceMind for works in it.
CodeHS and JuiceMind
Coding classes
CodeHS and JuiceMind run code in the browser with nothing to install, check student code against tests, come with an AP CSA course you can edit, and each has a live quiz game. Classla does that too.
In the same course
- Parsons problems, find-the-bug and trace-the-output questions sit in the same lesson as the IDE block.
- The same course takes attendance, plays the review game and holds the video lesson, so a CS class runs from one tab.
A real IDE in the browser
Python, Java, C#, JavaScript, C and C++, each with a terminal and live co-editing. Nothing to install on a Chromebook. Docs
Autograders
Starter files, a model solution, and input/output or unit tests. Check Answer and the real grade use the same grader. Docs
A course to start from
CSAwesome for AP CSA and Classla's own AP CSA review sets, every lesson made of blocks you can rewrite. Docs
The record behind the code
The paste trail, the file history and similarity between students in one panel, with the decision you write down. Docs
Live coding rounds
A coding block is a question in a live game. When it closes, your tests run on every player's code. Docs
Help without touching their work
Open a private copy of a student's Workspace and run it. An edit you make to their file is recorded as yours. Docs
Questions Teachers Ask
About moving coding classes into Classla.
- Does it run on Chromebooks?
- Yes. The IDE runs in the browser on any device a student has, with nothing to install.
- Which languages does it support?
- Python, Java, C#, JavaScript, C and C++, each with a terminal and autograders. A new language can be added in a day, so ask for the one you teach.
- Is there an AP CSA course?
- Yes. CSAwesome for AP CSA and Classla's own AP CSA review sets are included, and every lesson is made of blocks you can rewrite.
- How does the AI help a teacher?
- Ask the assistant for an assignment, a makeup quiz or a review game built from what the class missed. It reads your course, drafts the work, and you publish it. It does not grade students, and students cannot use it. You can also connect your own Claude or ChatGPT to your courses.
- Does it work with Google Classroom or my LMS?
- Yes. Classla syncs assignments to Google Classroom as placeholders that link back, and no student data goes to Google. Canvas and Moodle connect through LTI 1.3.
- How is Classla priced?
- $15 per student per school year for a K-12 school, paid by the teacher or the school. $30 per student per semester for a college, paid by the student or the department. Everything is included, with no add-ons.
Anything CodeHS and JuiceMind has that Classla does not, ask for it. Most requests ship within days.
