Introducing submit.cs50.io

submit.cs50.io is CS50’s new tool for managing student submissions online. Though students technically submit their code to GitHub, students and teachers need not be familiar with Git itself to be able to take advantage of CS50’s submission system! With submit.cs50.io, teachers are able to more easily create a course, invite students to join it, collect submissions for particular problems, view how students did on each assignment, and provide written feedback on students’ code. submit.cs50.io handles all of the behind-the-scenes work: ensuring that teachers always have permission to view and comment on student submissions on GitHub, and keeping track of all students’ files and at what time they were submitted. We’ve also built into submit.cs50.io a number of ways to give teachers easy access to their students’ data; for example, submit.cs50.io allows teachers to export student submission data in a CSV spreadsheet that can be opened in Excel or Google Sheets. We also offer an API, so teachers who wish to write their own scripts for grading and course management can easily access and use their course data in whatever way best suits the needs of their classroom.
