Code Combat is online but it's designed like a game, so it might work for
people who can't engage with a traditionally structured online course. I
believe it's also open source.

I think Out box has a program of sorts for that kind of stuff , not sure .
Though i'm pretty sure they can be tutored instead in fact , i think
personal tutoring is better for most things .
