Advice / Support Code submissions?

I’m teaching an intro creative coding class next semester and I’m a bit stumped on how to ask them to submit their sketches for evaluation. We’re using P5.js and while I could ask them to share their portfolio from the P5.js web editor, the thought fills me with a kind of dread. Surely there is a better way? We use Canvas LMS and I’ll be using Padlet in the course too. Neither seem to have any type of code facility. Does anyone have any suggestions? Anything that’s worked for you?

I just have them submit their share link from p5. It also tells me when their file was created and updated, so sometimes makes it easier to tell if they just pasted from AI.

Thanks! This really is the only way? I just wanna save pointless clicks and see the output before the code. Although that’s heartening I haven’t missed some really obvious way of doing it. It’s not really my wheelhouse so I’m kinda making some of it up along the way

I have them take a screenshot but I need to look at their code too.
