A new feature is now available for a selection of programming language courses.
What is it?
Code Playgrounds enables learners to launch a browser based code editor, to practice along with the Lynda.com video content.
3 key goals of this new feature are:
- Increased learner engagement through added interactivity.
- Increased learning retention. Learners are more likely to retain the knowledge through practising.
- Increased course completion rates. Learners who are more engaged by being able to practice are more likely to complete a course than those who are passively learning.
