Marking its first ever acquisition, online education platform Udacity has acquired CloudLabs, a small five-person firm building interactive coding environments that let groups collaboratively code from within their browsers. Interestingly, Cloud Labs also creates platforms where others can come up with interactive computer programming courses. For instance, Terminal.com that enabled the custom creation of computer programming courses built around an interactive, container-based, command-line interface. Meanwhile, Udacity hopes to implement the company’s live developer environments in some of its courses. With this new tech, instructors will be able to inspect the code, draw attention to specific issues and screen share with students.
