Private Studios

I think of studio.sketchpad.cc as an open studio, in which everyone can participate and interact. If you're teaching a class or workshop on programming with Processing, you may like this model but need a bit more control over the environment. If so, you may want to set up a private sketchpad studio.

In a private studio, you can:

specify if anyone can sign up or if people have to be invited to gain access (screenshot)

decide if you wish the sketches created in the studio to be visible to the outside world, through direct surfing, RSS feeds, and search engine queries (screenshot)

Choose your studio's URL: https://yourclass.sketchpad.cc (example)

change the default code used to populate new sketches. (screenshot)

edit any sketch in your studio (not just your own). (screenshot)

delete any sketch in the studio. (screenshot)

select which sketches are featured in your studio's gallery. (screenshot)

customize the messages that people see before and after logging into your studio. (screenshot)

manage the list of people who have access to your studio.

pick who else shares your admin-level access (e.g. co-organizers, TAs, etc.)

export all your studio data, in a single zipped file.

and more...

Request a studio if this seems like a good fit for your course. I'd be happy to answer any questions that you have.
