Abstract : NexaClass is an AI-enhanced virtual classroom platform built to improve online programming education by combining interactive assessments, an integrated code editor, and intelligent learning support. The platform enables faculty to design quizzes, coding tasks, and slip tests, while students can write, compile, and test code directly within the system and maintain organized digital notes. A conversational AI assistant helps students debug code and clarify concepts from their notes, providing personalized, on-demand guidance. To uphold academic integrity during timed assessments, NexaClass incorporates tab-switch detection that alerts instructors when a student navigates away from the test interface. By integrating collaborative teaching tools with automated assistance and integrity-monitoring features, NexaClass aims to bridge gaps found in traditional e-learning environments and deliver a scalable, engaging solution tailored to programming courses.

Keywords : AI in Education; Virtual Classroom; Code Editor; Tab-switch Detection; Online Assessment; EdTech.
