At DataCamp, we’ve been working on a improved way of creating content. DataCamp’s new Teach app is closely linked with GitHub, the popular web-service where you can collaborate on Git Repositories. To make creating and maintaining courses as easy as possible, the DataCamp Teach app can automatically convert a GitHub repository in a DataCamp course. This is similar to how continuous integration tools such as Travis CI and Jenkins work: simply push changes to your GitHub repository, and the changes are automatically reflected in the DataCamp app.
This blog tutorial walks you through the different steps to create your own interactive online course on www.DataCamp.com. Next to the post you can also have a look at the complementary screencast below. If you want to take a deep dive into DataCamp’s documentation, head over to www.datacamp.com/teach/documentation. Teaching Data Science has never been easier!

DataCamp Teach – Creating a course
Start by browsing to www.datacamp.com/teach. If you’re not logged in you will be redirected to the DataCamp login page, where you can continue using your DataCamp credentials. If you don’t have a DataCamp account yet, you can create a new one by following the Sign Up link.
Once logged in to DataCamp, you will immediatly be asked to link your GitHub account. Press the Link account to GitHub button and log in on your GitHub account. You might have to give access to DataCamp so that your repositories can be read.
After linking your GitHub account, you will be redirected back to start creating a course.
On the main page, create a course by following these 2 steps:
- Choose a cool name
- Click on Create!
That’s all, wait a few seconds and the course will be added to your GitHub repositories and linked with DataCamp.
