Research Technologies for Teaching and Learning

JupyterHub for Teaching gives users access to Jupyter Notebooks (computational environments and resources) without the hassle of installation and maintenance tasks. Instructors can make individual workspaces available to students using shared resources, which can be managed efficiently by system administrators.
