How can I use ACCESS in the classroom?

There are several ways that you may be able to use ACCESS for teaching purposes:

...

Science Gateways provide user-friendly online interfaces to cyberinfrastructure, and support a community-specific set of tools, applications , and data collections. Explore the Science Gateways catalog to see if a gateway provides the tools you need for your class. These gateways can be used without requesting your own ACCESS allocation and may provide easy access for your students.

1. Request an ACCESS Allocation
ACCESS-allocated resources can be used for classroom purposes. Most classroom needs can likely be met with a Discover ACCESS allocation, which is designed to cater to small-scale research activities. You will 'll need to provide a one-page description of the classroom activity to request an allocation.

In your proposal specify when and how long your class will meet, how many students you would 'd like to accommodate, and the amount of data you expect to need, if you know. ACCESS staff will let you know if your needs are likely to require more resources than the Discover allocation can provide. Additional Information about how to prepare the request is available.

...

The ACCESS Resource Advisor (ARA) provides another method to find suitable resources by asking questions about your research domain, software needed, hardware requirements , and other information to make recommendations.

If you are 're looking for particular software, say Jupyter Notebooks or Open OnDemand, you might find the Software Documentation Service (SDS) useful to explore which resources provide the software you need.

...

All students must have their own ACCESS IDs. Student accounts can be added to an allocation by the allocation PI or others designated as resource managers. You will need to know their manager using those ACCESS IDs. Add them to the appropriate resources under the Activity section of your project’s management page

...

Upcoming training events are listed on the ACCESS website Events & Trainings page which is found on the top bar of the ACCESS website or on the ACCESS Support homepage. If you join an Affinity Group you will 'll get notified of trainings recommended by your Resource Provider or your community group.
