Grok Learning is an online interactive platform that offers coding classes in programming languages like Python and HTML.[1] Grok Learning has a focus on educating high school students, but also has content targeted specifically for professionals.[2] Grok Learning provides courses suitable for use in a classroom setting where a computing trained teacher may or may not be present.[3]
The site teaches students through a combination of notes and accompanying coding problems to solve. These problems can coded and run using the in-browser programming environment and are marked instantaneously by an auto-marker. The site offers feedback for solved problems, and badges for completing certain tasks, as well as leaderboards for certain courses.
