It’s now September and we have a new theme for you all, Teaching Best Practieces! With this subject, we’d love to dive deep into sharing online teaching knowledge and how to create the best possible experience for your learners. We’d love for you to stop by our coffee chat and network with fellow instructors while sharing your experience with teaching courses.

What is a virtual coffee chat? 

The community virtual coffee chats are hour-long informal networking sessions held via Zoom. During these sessions, you’ll have the opportunity to network with and get to know other Udemy instructors worldwide.

How does it work?

September’s theme is course creation, so for the first 30 minutes, we will discuss various questions and scenarios about teaching best practices. Then we will open the floor for some questions you may have for other instructors regarding expertise as an online instructor.

How do I sign up?

Glad you asked! You can sign up for the coffee chat here!

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday, September 21st at 10:30am PT! 

*We understand that this time may not be ideal for all time zones, however, we will change the times of the coffee chat each month to accommodate different locations.

Hi instructors!

Did you know that Udemy Business courses with coding exercises see 90% more student enrollments than comparable courses without them? Knowing this, we’re especially pleased to announce our latest round of updates and improvements to Udemy's coding exercises. 

To provide greater understanding into how your students interact with coding exercises, we're introducing a new Practice Insights report. It currently highlights metrics focused specifically on your coding exercises, including:

• Performance funnels tracking students who view, run tests, and complete each exercise.
• Charts highlighting time spent on each exercise over the past 7 days, 30 days or 12 months.
• Filtering capabilities by course, exercise, date range and Udemy Business learners.
• Coming soon: Coding exercise performance summary by course with exercise comparison tables.

For full details on these new coding exercise insights, check out our Teaching Center Article.

Code on.
