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

Explore Science Gateways

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

XDMoD Usage Reports
Reports are available through XDMoD with job performance information. Instructors and students may be able to use this data to understand what went wrong in their work. There's a delay in reporting, so data may not be available immediately. ACCESS for Educators Affinity Group?
(Support will work on finding commuity members to support this affinity group.)

Campus Champions
Campus Champions provide information on ACCESS and cyberinfrastructure resources to researchers and educators on their campuses and they assist users to quickly get start-up allocations of computing time. Find a Champion on your campus!

...

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 manager using those ACCESS IDs. Add them to the appropriate resources under the Activity section of your project’s management pagehttps://allocations.access-ci.org/login

Once student accounts are added through the Allocations portal, it may take some time for those accounts to be added on the allocated resource. The time required to add students to an allocation may vary by resource provider, but the general recommendation would be to allow at least one week for new students to be added to the allocation.
