how to save a course on scrimba

by Prof. Alanna Mante 7 min read

Does scrimba have a save feature for beginners?

No (typical save feature, or other that I can find) and no helpful info on any screen. Nothing helpful for beginners in any documentation. (I get it, Scrimba is made for the more experienced developer perhaps) I’m playing around with Scrimba and CodePen to try and get used to them. Just asking. Thanks, in advance.

Is there a way to download a file on scrimba?

This is really an easy question. If you click on the option wheel on the right-bottom of the page, you can download the file as a zip, idk if there is a way to save it directly on scrimba

How do I advertise my scrimba playlist as a course?

You can advertise your Scrimba playlist as a course by simply incorporating the word "Course" in your playlist title. You do not have to create a whole course for your Scrimba screencasts to be beneficial. Sometimes one screencast will be sufficient.

What is a Scrimba screencast

A Scrimba screencast is an exclusive and unique platform for online learning, called " scrims ."

Creating a slide show with HTML files

You now created a new scrim. Now you are ready to make a " presentation " folder and add the appropriate files to it.

Create a presentation with Google Slides

Leanne from Scrimba brought my attention to an additional way to create a slide show presentation in your screencast. Using this method, you will create a slide show presentation the same way the Scrimba instructors do, with Google Slides.

Google Slides

Google Slides is a presentation program included as part of the free, web-based Google Docs Editors suite offered by Google.

Create your slides

I am creating a simple slide show by copying screenshot images of my previously made slides for demonstration purposes.

Publish to the web

After creating your slides, you need to publish your slides to the web.

Your slides

On the bottom left side of your Scrimba screencast, you will now see your slides.

How to do interactive coding lectures with Scrimba

Our newest playground feature at Scrimba aims at making coding lectures more fun and engaging.

1. Live stream your code to your students

Live streaming code to your classroom is as easy as sharing a URL. Once your students visit the URL, they see exactly what you type. No login is required from the students.

2. Let students fork your code

When watching a live stream, students will be able to fork your code so that they can experiment with it. They can jump back and forth between their forks and your code as much as they want.

3. Get full overview over all your students

As a teacher you’ll have full overview over all your students’ forks. Simply click on a student’s icon to enter his or her fork. There you’ll be able to watch them code live.
