Create Your Own Code Academy In WordPress With WPLMS


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 :

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
