Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsThe new "Get Hints" button for code challenges
I was doing one of the Python practices.
This is a nice new innovation for code challenges and I hope it's going to be utilised more often. It has the potential to provide human-readable hints that will nudge students along the way to the answer they're struggling with without just giving away the answer.
That's a very powerful learning tool. I don't suppose it can be integrated for existing courses but do keep it coming for the future! :)

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsOne of the Python practices... I think it was the "functions" one. These are answers I could have found on Google or going back to one of the Python Basics course, but the fact I didn't have to leave the page was an excellent experience

But it's a start!

What specific course did you see it in?
