Codeforces as an Educational Platform for Learning Programming in Digitalization

Digitalization imposes ways of development and influences the process of Codeforces development. Codeforces’ infrastructure provides a solid open ecosystem for building a programming learning process. Functionality covers the entire process, from the Polygon system for devising problems to mashup contests and private groups on Codeforces. A beta test of the educational subsystem with a pilot educational course was launched. The paper describes all the aspects and relationships of the ecosystem, typical flows of use, examples of successful integration into educational processes in the age of digitalization.
