Access Code

Description

Access Code was an online coding bootcamp.

Students were able to follow specific paths (for example, Full-Stack JavaScript) or complete individual courses.

I single-handedly built the platform and created all of the content.

Notable Features

The Access Code platform offered a fully automated code-checker which was built into the IDE. On the instructor's side, it offered a verbose course management dashboard where the course could be created, updated, and submissions could be reviewed and graded.
