Hello & happy Wednesday Instructors!   Earlier this week we were fortunate enough to sit down and chat with Jimmy Naraine, Udemy instructor to over 350k+ students, about his course creation process. His presentation was one part tactical application, one part motivation & one part mindset shift...it's definitely a must-see!   Here's what other instructors were saying after the webinar:   "His enthusiasm and energy are contagious, but even more importantly are some of his ideas and suggestions about topics I hadn't even considered"   "Jimmy is a great motivator. Because of his experience in his field, he knows what he’s talking about. He’s one instructor who people should listen to."   If you missed it, don't worry, we've got the replay for you below! Enjoy!   ... View more

Durante estos años, los instructores de cursos de programación nos habéis pedido en varias ocasiones que mejoremos nuestra herramienta de ejercicios de codificación. Nos complace informarte de que, en los próximos meses, daremos prioridad a las mejoras de los ejercicios de codificación para que puedas crear actividades prácticas que fomenten la participación de los estudiantes. Mientras abordamos algunas de las cuestiones principales, queríamos informarte de las correcciones y actualizaciones que ya hemos realizado: Puedes crear ejercicios de codificación en Python 3.10. Esta era una de las peticiones más comunes, así que esperamos que el nuevo lenguaje te resulte de lo más útil. Puedes editar los ejercicios de codificación después de publicarlos. Antes, tenías que eliminar el ejercicio de codificación publicado y volver a crearlo. Ahora, puedes anular la publicación dentro del curso, introducir las actualizaciones necesarias y volver a publicarlo. Los estudiantes pueden ahorrar tiempo copiando el texto directamente de las descripciones de los ejercicios de codificación y pegándolo en la parte de la actividad del ejercicio. Seguiremos informando de los cambios que hagamos en los ejercicios de codificación. Consulta el artículo Cómo crear un ejercicio de codificación del centro de asistencia para obtener más información. ... View more

Au fil des années, les formateurs donnant des cours de programmation nous ont demandé à plusieurs reprises d'améliorer notre outil pour les exercices de codage. Nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer que nous allons donner la priorité à l'amélioration des exercices de codage lors des prochains mois, afin que vous puissiez créer des possibilités de mise en pratique qui encouragent la participation aux cours. Tandis que nous nous concentrons sur d'importantes améliorations, nous voulions vous informer de certaines corrections et mises à jour que nous avons déjà effectuées : Vous pouvez créer des exercices de codage en langage Python 3.10. Il s'agissait d'une demande fréquente et nous espérons que vous pourrez profiter du nouveau langage immédiatement ! Vous pouvez modifier les exercices de codage après leur publication. Auparavant, vous ne pouviez que supprimer et recréer un exercice de codage publié. Désormais, vous pouvez simplement le retirer du cours, effectuer vos mises à jour et le republier. Les participants peuvent gagner du temps en copiant directement le texte des descriptions des exercices de codage et en le collant dans la partie activité de l'exercice. Nous vous tiendrons au courant des changements que nous apportons aux exercices de codage. N'hésitez pas à consulter l'article Création d'un exercice de codage dans le Centre d'aide pour en savoir plus ! ... View more
