Question:

I’m polishing up my course right now, and I’ve noticed quite a few spelling errors, but they aren’t being labeled as incorrect. Does Teach have a spell check feature? How do I use it?

Answer:

The spell check feature in Teach is on its way but is surprisingly difficult to implement without causing the editor to slow down significantly. At DataCamp, we currently use Grammarly for spelling and grammar checks. It comes in both free and premium versions as both a web app and a chrome extension. Grammarly integrates easily into websites and applications that utilize textboxes, such as Teach and GitHub. We strongly encourage instructors to download Grammarly and spell check their course as they develop as DataCamp students will submit feedback over typos that will require maintenance post-development.
