Course hosting
Jupyter notebook hosting and student accounts for college courses.
We host the environment your students code in: personal Jupyter notebooks for Python and data science courses, web hosting accounts for HTML, PHP and MySQL courses, and faculty accounts. No local installs, ready on the first day of class.
Why host it
Stop losing the first week to installation problems.
Different laptops, different versions and missing packages turn week one into tech support. A hosted environment gives every student the same working setup in the browser. We explain more in why we host student notebooks.
Nothing to install
Students log in from any computer with a browser, including library and lab machines.
Same environment for everyone
One set of versions and packages, so “it works on my computer” stops being a problem.
Help where the work is
Instructors can open a student’s notebook or site in place to help with an error or to mark it.
Jupyter notebooks
Hosted Jupyter notebooks for Python and data science courses.
A managed, hosted alternative to running your own JupyterHub. Every student gets a personal notebook workspace on servers we set up and manage for your course.
- Personal workspace per student, organised into practice, lab and assignment folders
- Weekly notebooks delivered to every student on schedule
- Notebook assignments collected and checked with automated tests
- Instructors open student work in place to help or to mark
Student web hosting
Web hosting accounts for web development courses.
Students in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL courses publish real, live sites instead of only running them on their own laptop.
Student accounts
A personal hosting account for each student, with secure file upload, HTTPS and a MySQL database.
Faculty accounts
Instructor accounts to host course notebooks and demos, and to review student work directly on the server.
Set up every term
Accounts created for each new term or section, with step-by-step setup guides for students.
How it works
Ready before the first class.
Hosting is available on its own or as part of a course build.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do students need to install anything?
No. Notebooks and hosting accounts work in a web browser.
Can you host a course you did not build?
Yes. Hosting is available on its own or together with course development.
Which courses is this for?
Python and data science courses use hosted Jupyter notebooks. Web development courses (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL) use student web hosting accounts.
Want your students coding on day one?
Tell us about the course and the number of sections. We will tell you what hosting it needs and how we would set it up.
