How to use GitHub Codespaces to Improve Student Learning

[Guest Lee Stott]

Development containers, often known as dev containers, are containers that are designed to offer a fully featured development environment. You can set the dev container for a repository so that GitHub Codespaces created for that repository provide a customized development environment with all the required tools and runtimes for a particular project. Join GitHub Education PM Juan Pablo Flores Cortés as he speaks with Noah Gift, Founder of Pragmatic AI Labs, about the benefits of using GitHub Codespaces to provide a better learning experience for students, and Alfredo Deza and Sara Gibbons, Sr. Academic Cloud Advocates at Microsoft, about the availability of templates, videos, and step-by-step resources to get you started running, testing, debugging, and pushing code using this instant cloud developer environment.
