Are you a coding enthusiast? Do you want to create your very own coding academy as technical leaders and coding entrepreneurs?
In this article, we will learn how you can easily create and manage your code academy with the WPLMS Sphere-Engine.
There are few challenges which you will encounter in launching your Code academy :
- Code compilers : While you can teach your students by videos or video conferencing. There is nothing more important than real-time feedback using a compiler which is embedded right inside the LMS platform for instant feedback.
- Evaluating Code Questions : You will most likely need a self-evaluating code evaluation platform which forms a part of your LMS and quiz framework. So that your students can submit answers without the need for your attention in evaluating the quizzes.
Everything should just happen automatically, which is why we at WPLMS created a solution just for you. We’ve integrated with a platform called “Sphere Engine” and using our WPLMS Sphere Engine plugin you can achieve both challenges listed above.

Now, run your code academy on wordpress with the fully compatible PWA-powered learning management system. WPLMS Sphere-Engine optimizes the costs of developing your training platform by providing coding assessment solutions and online software development environments. Although the pricing a strictly on-contact basis, a general estimate is that for 10,000 monthly code evaluations average ram consumption of 50mb they will charge around 100-150$ per month with annual discounts.
How To Create Code Academy In WPLMS
- To create your code academy, first, you need a working WPLMS learning management system on your site in version 4.
- Install and activate the sphere-engine plugin in the WPLMS site.
- Log on to sphere-engine.com and create an account without using any generic email like- google. After creating an account go to API Tokens and copy the data from the compilers API and Problems API.
