Abstract

This paper presents an overview and main features of Enki, a web-based learning environment for computer science languages. Enki was designed to be a unified learner workspace, bringing together problem descriptions, browser-based code editing, instant automated evaluation, gamification progress tracking, and interactive diagramming. We describe the user interface layout, student engagement strategies, and initial classroom feedback from deploying Enki in introductory programming courses.
