Azure Dev Tools for Teaching puts professional developer tools, software, and services from Microsoft in the hands of faculty and students. Plans in the program are part of various academic Volume Licensing agreements.
Students receive developer tools at no cost--everything they need to create apps, games, and websites. With this access, students can chase their dreams, create the next breakthrough in technology, or get a head start on their career.
As an administrator of the Azure Dev Tools for Teaching subscription, you can:
Manage and access software through a centralized online location that eliminates the need to maintain a webstore or an internal site.
Give academic users access to software, free training/learning materials, and the Azure cloud platform through the same online portal.
Program details
We designed Azure Dev Tools for Teaching to help professors teach and help students learn more effectively.
Your Azure Dev Tools for Teaching subscription gives you access to certain software developer tools. These tools are available to download for free.
