Can the Code Block Be Used for Automated Code-Checking? Plans for More Languages?
Hi ValeriiaR,
AndrewBlemings- shared a great breakdown here, and I appreciate how clearly you described what you’d like to do.
The Code Block in Rise is currently designed for displaying or formatting code, and with the new beta, it can also be used for custom HTML, CSS, or JavaScript snippets. It isn’t set up to evaluate or check learner-submitted code for correctness.
Your ideas for interactive code checking and broader language support, such as Python or Java, would be valuable for teams creating programming-focused learning. I’ve added your request to our product tracker so our team can review it as we plan future updates.
Thanks to you and Andrew for sparking such a thoughtful conversation.

Thank you for the kind words, Eric, and the project tracker add of Valeriia’s ask. Broader support of programming languages would be very significant.

EricSantos Thank you again for taking this into consideration and for adding it to the product tracker, it means a lot to us!
This functionality is very important for us, so we’ll be eagerly waiting for any updates. Being able to evaluate learner-submitted code and support additional languages would make a huge difference for our programming-focused content.

Thanks so much for sharing more about how this would support your courses, ValeriiaR!
It’s great to hear how meaningful this functionality would be for your team.
We’ll look forward to sharing updates once they’re available, and really appreciate your enthusiasm for this feature.
