What’s new with coding exercises: November 2022 update

Hi Instructors,

 

As this year comes to a close, we’re excited to announce some big, upcoming changes to our coding exercises tool!

 

  • An improved look for learners. To create an authentic programming experience, our new coding exercise learner experience closely simulates an Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
  • Help your learners when they get stuck. You can now add hints and a related lecture to your coding exercises to help your learners get to the right answer.
  • Create comprehensive solutions. Clarify the right answer in the solution explanation section and create test cases that are now shown to learners so they can better understand where their code is breaking.

Most of these coding exercise improvements are currently in beta testing with a select group of courses. We’ll be slowly rolling out the beta to courses with coding exercises over the next few weeks and aim to launch the new experience for all courses in early 2023. You can learn more at this Teaching Center article. We can’t wait to hear your feedback on the enhanced tool!

I like the idea of being able to provide a link to the relevant lecture in the coding exercise.

I also think it would be great if we could do this the other way around and be able to provide a link to the coding exercise from the video in the "Resources Tab."
