W3Schools stands as one of the world’s leading platforms for learning web development and coding, offering an extensive library filled with a wide array of instructional guides, exercises, code examples, references, and other learning tools.

We at Skolon, with an international library filled with more than 5,000 digital tools, resources, services and apps for education, recently had the opportunity to discuss W3Schools with Carl Magnus Woldstad, Product Manager at W3Schools. He shared his insights, describing W3Schools as a leading global platform for learning web development and coding. Let’s explore Carl Magnus perspective and the rich educational tools that W3Schools offers.

Carl Magnus, what are the opportunities for using W3Schools?

W3Schools’ resources can easily be used by teachers tilized as a supplement to an existing curriculum. The learning materials, or its tutorials, practice exercises, quizzes, and interactive “Try-It-Yourself” code example sections, and HTML video tutorials can also be used as a self-paced learning curriculum with detailed direct learning content for progress tracking. It offers the web hosting solution, “Spaces”, for practising web development and coding, along with the opportunity to share your projects that have been done. Integration with GitHub for version control and assignment submission is also a potential use. The platform’s materials can be used by students independently or displayed in the classroom as part of a presentation, making it a versatile tool for different learning styles and requirements.
