What's New In P圜harm Edu 3 Related Articles In case no interpreter is installed on the student's machine, Pycharm will alert them and suggest installing the required version. Other improvements include the option of specifying the Python version the course is designed for, and having P圜harm pick the appropriate interpreter when the course is opened. All system, test and hidden files are displayed in light gray. There's also an enhanced course view in the course creation mode that shows you the course in the same way a student would see it. The new version lets you run and debug the tests from the course creation mode, without having to generate the course or preview it. These are tests that you write to check students' input and solutions. The course design elements of P圜harm Edu have also been improved, with an enhanced task description panel, the ability to use hyperlinks in task descriptions, and the ability to preview the course you're designing from within the course creation mode.Īnother area to have been improved is that of custom tests. They can also tell the system if the task feels too easy or difficult for them. As they work through the course, their progress is monitored and the next tasks they're asked to do are chosen depending on their progress. What happens is that there's a course that adapts to the way the student is working. This comes from integration with Stepic, a learning management platform. One addition to the new version is what is being described as an 'experimental adaptive Python course'. Alongside the editor and development environment, P圜harm Edu bundles interactive online lessons that introduce new users to Python to the language and to the IDE's tools at the same time. P圜harm Edu 3 is an educational edition of P圜harm, JetBrains' integrated development environment for Python. A new version of P圜harm Edu, a free and open source tool for learning to program with Python, has been released.
