As part of the course specs phase, you’ll create your first cloud exercise using the Teach editor. We recommend starting with the first cloud exercise in Lesson 1 of Chapter 1, immediately following the hook video.

Why Create a Cloud Exercise in the Course Specs Phase?

Familiarity with Tools: Gain hands-on experience using the Teach editor to create multi-step cloud exercises.

Writing Clear Instructions: Practice crafting step-by-step instructions and hints that guide learners effectively.

Understanding Scope: Develop a better sense of what can be reasonably covered in 6 steps and identify content that may need to be split into multiple exercises.

The Spirit of Creating Your First Cloud Exercise

Our experience with hundreds of expert instructors has shown that the most challenging part of creating a DataCamp course is understanding its scope—from exercises to lessons, and ultimately the course as a whole. This activity is designed to:

Check Course Scope: Ensure that the content you’re planning is achievable and appropriately segmented for learners.

Acquaint Yourself with Tools: Build confidence with the tools and processes you’ll use throughout course development.

Receive Early Feedback: Use this opportunity to align with DataCamp on teaching style and course vision, receiving actionable feedback to guide the rest of your course creation.
