An Education-Oriented Collaborative Code Hosting Platform for Programming Courses.

Online practicing platforms and open-source communities have enriched teachers and students with abundant teaching resources and convenient practicing environments. However, the designs of these platforms cannot fully meet the demands of educational scenarios, particularly in programming courses. To address challenges such as code collaboration, homework management, and configuration of practicing environment, this paper introduces an intelligent code hosting and project collaboration platform known as ShuiShan Code Park, which explores a new educational model based on collaboration. Specifically, it introduces team collaboration into teaching, and centers education around repositories. Furthermore, ShuiShan Code Park enhances the educational experience in multiple dimensions including the code similarity comparison, point-based ranking, enhanced Markdown, and Tianhe containers-based practicing. Detailed cases of ShuiShan Code Park's applications effectively demonstrate its optimization of educational scenarios. Feedback from students highlights the practical value of Shuishan Code Park.
