Summary

Example:

Your KU NetID and password grant access to the campus network and many University systems, such as Wifi, VPN, and printers. All Academic and Staff type access is managed through Human Resources. Student access is managed through Registrar Office.

Features

Example:

• Central KU electronic ID used throughout the University.

• You must change your password at least once per calendar year.

• A series of letters and numbers that are unique to you.

• Departments can request a Sponsored Identity for vendors and others who are working on their behalf by opening an IT Trackit request. 

Who can use it?

Example:

Jupyter (jupyter.org) is a framework for managing code “notebooks” of cells, mixed code, text, images, and graphics. Users access to math, science, engineering, communication, and visualization tools on an open-source, web-based platform.  Jupyter Notebook allows you to program in a web browser. Users can write live code, equations, visualizations, and narrative text, then share their Notebooks with others through email, GitHub, and the Jupyter Notebook Viewer in a single place. It is an open-source web application built for collaboration.

Features

• Language of choice: Jupyter supports over 40 programming languages, including Python, R, Julia, and Scala.
• Share notebooks: Notebooks can be shared with others using email, Dropbox, GitHub, and the Jupyter Notebook Viewer.
• Interactive output: Your code can produce rich, interactive output: HTML, images, videos, LaTeX, and custom MIME types.
• Big data integration: Leverage big data tools, such as Apache Spark, from Python, R, and Scala. Explore that same data with pandas, scikit-learn, ggplot2, TensorFlow.

How can I use it?

Jupyter notebooks can be used to communicate and share materials for learning and teaching, as well as research outputs. For example:

• Share a Jupyter Notebook with instructional materials and exercises to support students learning to code. (Example link: ARC Lessons - Introduction to Programming in Python)
• Jupyter Notebook simulations to allow students to explore a problem: a coding to learn approach.
• Jupyter Notebooks is a lab book of data analysis, which includes code, results, and discussion. This could support student project work or research as a supplement to a lab report. (Example link: student project - The Bayesian Astrometric Dust Cartogropher)
