CoCalc Value for Students and Teachers

Software is already installed. Dozens of programming languages, thousands of libraries and packages.
Unified place of work. Switch computers without pausing to install software or move your work to another system.
Consistent coding environment. Time spent mastering the ecosystem is an investment for other courses, not a one-time throw-away effort.
Interactive notebooks. Use Sage worksheets and Jupyter notebooks to create an executable record of each study session. Make the most of your time when reviewing your work later.
Your personal study archive. Your work remains accessible and usable in CoCalc long after the course is over.
Extras:
Time travel (detailed edit history)
Backups
Real time collaboration & chat
Online publishing (make selected files public)

Managed platform. Why waste TA / grad student time setting up, maintaining, backing up and securing a flaky platform? Instead, sleep while CoCalc ensures everything runs smoothly 24/7.
Focus on helping students. Jump right into a student's file and assist via a chat on the side.
Proven track record. CoCalc has been used for teaching since 2013 in over 200 courses by tens of thousands of students.
Open source. CoCalc itself and everything it runs is 100% open-source. Say good-bye to vendor lock-in, hidden licensing fees, and proprietary black boxes.
