Is there an online “coding platform” for teaching LaTeX
I have been looking for an online "coding platform" for teaching LaTeX but I have not succeeded in finding anything that does what I need. By a "coding platform" what I mean is a web-based system where:
- you can write tutorials on how to use LaTeX, possibly with or without embedded videos
- have the "students" write and view the output of their code as part of the tutorial
- be able to test that the student is able to complete set LaTeX "coding" tasks, recording their marks
So, I am looking for something like CodeAcademy, Coursera or TreeHouse for LaTeX. Online LaTeX systems like OverLeaf and ShareLatex provide a web-based means of writing LaTeX but, as far as I am aware, none of these systems allow you to test student progress.
I'm not adverse to hacking an existing system to make it do what I want, so if you know of something that could be modified to do what I want, within its licencing agreement of course, please let me know as this could be better than writing a system from scratch.

Not sure, but have you ever used edx.org? seems to use linux servers for its coding exams and tests and I looked several times for several years if there is a LaTeX course but didn't found one yet. It is something missing from there and they useMathJaxvery much, so, I suspect that they could be interested in such a course and could provide the needed additional requests on their platform in order to make their platform better and more "marketable"... They have cooperation with really big universities like MIT and Harvard etc. and surely such a course would be interesting for them.

@koleygr Thanks. I've sent them a query to find out if they can/will support this.

Perhaps not the best to suggest since we get many starter problem requests but educationally anki allows for tracking user progress not sure if there are many "using latex" tutorials since its generic with a latex ability but uses audio images video etc Linux win mac iPhone &roid don't let it put you off but down sides you may need to help students through are here tex.stackexchange.com/search?tab=newest&q=anki and apps.ankiweb.net/docs/… latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9933 ctan.org/topic/card-flash
