Invitation to JupyterHub workshop for teachers

Statistical calculations, scientific algorithms or programming languages are part of your teaching activities or do you offer introductory courses on these topics? Then JupyterHub is the simple and university-wide solution for you!

Since mid-February (see news from February 15, 2024) the University IT and Data Center has recently started to operate the new multi-user data science platform JupyterHub. Thereby, it is possible to do collaborative work in a private and interactive environment, directly through the browsers. Teachers can, for example, use JupyterHub to create a uniform but adaptable study environment via eCampus, without first having to install software on the devices. 

To introduce JupyterHub, the HRZ offers a beginner workshop for teachers, who are interested in using the system in their courses. The workshop takes place online, on March 15, 2024 from 10:00 to 11:00 o'clock. 

Registration for the JupyterHub beginner workshop can be done via eCampus.
