What is CoCalc?

The introduction of CoCalc has transformed the landscape of teaching scientific software in an online environment by addressing various challenges associated with this process. Students have their own individual workspaces online, which allows instructors to observe their advancements in real-time effortlessly. Teachers can conveniently access a student's work files at any point, enabling them to pick up right where they had previously left off. With the innovative TimeTravel feature, educators can trace each step a student took on their path to a solution. Integrated chat rooms provide an avenue for immediate support for students while they work, or facilitate discussions regarding shared documents with teaching assistants. Additionally, the comprehensive Activity Log keeps a detailed record of file access, ensuring both transparency and accountability within the educational framework. The inconvenience of complex software installations is a thing of the past, as users can initiate their tasks in just seconds. Furthermore, as all participants utilize the same software stack, discrepancies between student and teacher environments become non-existent, creating a consistent learning atmosphere. This efficient model not only refines the teaching approach but also allows students to concentrate on their educational journey without being hindered by technical issues. In essence, CoCalc emerges as an invaluable tool for modern educators, setting a new standard for online learning experiences.

    Collaborative Jupyter Notebooks, LaTeX, Linux Terminals and X11

    Date: Feb 23 2022
    Summary

    I started using CoCalc in 2013 when I started writing CoCalc. All my development of CoCalc since then has been in CoCalc. I also use all the tools of CoCalc -- code editing, notebooks, Latex, Linux, X11, etc., in developing and maintaining CoCalc.

    Positive

    I like having realtime collaboration for everything, including file editing, Jupyter notebooks, terminals, X11, etc. Fully usable in web browser.

    Negative

    There are many exciting features that still haven't been implemented.

    Great tool for data science projects

    Date: May 10 2021
    Summary

    CoCalc has some features like live-editing which makes it much more desirable than other similar software in the market. There are some limitations like lack of a user friendly interface, but it can be mostly overlooked.

    Positive

    It's completely browser-based, so it can easy run on lower-end systems. Live-editing feature allows multiple users to work on the same code simultaneously without needing to refresh. Mobile version is also better than most other similar apps. It also allows installing of different python modules and packages, which makes it suitable for all kinds of projects.

    Negative

    The interface is definitely not the best. It is also difficult to organize or browse through the notebooks when you have large pieces of code.
