Not many docs on the "ide" task type

mikehearn opened this issue 4 years ago · 6 comments

There's a way to teach people how to use the IDE using the "ide" task type, but the docs don't really explain this or how it's different to a theory lesson. It's not really clear to me how to write such tasks.

Hi Mike, it's Ilnur again.
We have more information regarding the different task types in our Educator Start Guide: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/education/educator-start-guide.html?section=Java#create_course.

I'm going to create an article describing our guidelines for the course creators.
And of course, in this article, I'll describe in detail how to create different tasks.

Great, thanks. I guess some examples of how to teach people how to find buttons/menu items, what they do etc would be good.

Sure, I'll add these details to our documentation. And I'll do my best to make this guide easy to understand and informative.
