Seamless integration with student routines

In my research, I sought a solution that would fit in the routine and context of the students. As an institute, we already have free JetBrains licenses, so I was more than happy they launched JavaScript support in the JetBrains Academy plugin. No need for extra tools, just plug and play within an environment they are using anyway.
