Classroom Coding Environments

GitHub Codespaces for Training

Pre-configured VS Code environments in the browser. Each student gets their own isolated workspace with the right tools, extensions, and repository already loaded. No setup, no "works on my machine" issues.

Admin Dashboard How It Works

Pre-Configured Labs

Define your environment in a standard devcontainer.json. Students get VS Code in the browser with your exact toolchain — languages, linters, extensions, and dependencies pre-installed. LearnENV layers on custom extensions and configurations seamlessly, so every workspace is a fully tailored learning environment from the first click.

Instructor Dashboard

Monitor every student workspace from a single control panel. See who is active, browse their file system in real time, restart environments, and manage the full container lifecycle without disrupting student flow.

LearnENV Companion

A purpose-built VS Code extension that runs inside every workspace. Students get seamless interaction with labs and exercises. Instructors get a sidebar panel with student activity, idle times, and one-click Live Share to join any student's session.

How It Works

1

Create a project

Link a GitHub repository that contains a devcontainer.json. This defines the toolchain, extensions, and startup commands for the environment.

2

Automatic image builds

LearnENV automatically builds and caches a Docker image from your devcontainer configuration. All dependencies, extensions, and settings are baked in — so when a student opens their workspace, everything is already there. No waiting, no manual steps.

3

Share the lab URL

Each project gets a unique URL. Send it to your students — they authenticate with GitHub and land in their own isolated workspace within seconds.

4

Monitor and assist

Track student progress from the instructor dashboard. View their code, manage containers, and join sessions via Live Share — all from one place.

Are you a student?

Your instructor will provide your specific lab URL to get started. You will sign in with your GitHub account to access your coding environment. This page is for instructors and administrators only.
