Simple Workflows for Teaching with Jupyter

Abstract

Jupyter notebooks have great potential to facilitate the teaching of statistics and data science. However, setting up Jupyter for classroom use is intimidating for many college and high school instructors. nbteach is an extension for Jupyter and JupyterHub designed to make it easy for instructors to create, share, collect, and grade Jupyter notebooks in the context of statistics and data science education. While other solutions exist, nbteach is unique in its focus on the needs of the non-computer-science-savvy community. nbteach is currently available to students and their instructors free of charge as a cloud service at nbteach.io.
