Including Jupyter Notebooks in your Course https://pan-training.eu/materials/including-jupyter-notebooks-in-your-course As a teacher, you can link a JupyterHub instance to your course that runs on our e-learning servers.The JupyterHub instance runs as a docker container that is launched when a student clicks on the link. The container will clone your chosen github repository where you can edit and store Jupyter notebooks.Students will be able to open these Jupyter notebooks and execute them remotely. Crucially students do not require Jupyter to be installed on their computers or have prior knowledge of python. Examples where this might be useful: - Show students how to reduce and analyse experimental data themselves using python. - Introduce students to python modules or software used in data reduction and analysis. - Allow students to virtually explore large scale facility instruments. For example by using McStas (neutron instrument simulator). - Teach students data modelling and simulation techniques that use python. Requirements: What the student will interact with must be in the form of a Jupyter notebook. Your notebooks must be on a public github repository. Note that the entire repository you provide will be cloned not just selected notebooks. However it does not have to be the master branch. Our containers already include common scientific python modules such as numpy, matplotlib and ipython. In addition we have containers with the following software installed: 1. McStas, McXtrace, SCIPP, SasVIew 2. Crispy 3. SimEx If you require a container with other software to be installed it is possible to have a custom container created. Please email admin@pan-learning.org for help.  Useful Links: - [Jupyter notebooks](https://jupyter.org/) - [What is a docker container](https://www.docker.com/resources/what-container)? (and the [wiki page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docker_(software))) - [Docker and Jupyterhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/#help-and-resources) If you wish to include a link to a Jupyterhub container for your course. Please fill the form: Information to set up your container Once you have filled in the form you will receive an email to let you know the JupyterHub link is being set up and any further instructions that are required. Please note it may take a few days to be up and running. jupyter notebooks, docker container, moodle, e-teaching

e-neutrons for teachers https://pan-training.eu/materials/e-neutrons-for-teachers This set of manuals is intended to help developers/teachers on the e-neutrons portal make and improve online material that can be used for learning about neutron scattering. In sum, they represent both some of the experiences we have had with making online learning material for the e-neutrons portal and the choices we have made regarding how to make an e-learning portal. Many of these choices differ from choices made when conducting massive open online courses (MOOCs).  Our design choices are based on educational research, and we pay a lot of attention to what the goals for the portal and for each learning activity are. In particular, we have used research literature on digital learning, on assessment for learning, and on intended learning outcomes. We seek to align our online activities and the way we assess them with intended learning outcomes. Since the goal for the portal is not to provide users with a formal set of papers on how well they have performed, we have chosen not to provide students with traditional summative assessment such as grading or other performance evaluators. Rather, we have chosen to focus on providing high quality feedback to facilitate that students engage as much as possible with the learning material. The e-neutrons portal itself is an object of ongoing e-learning. Thus, we actively use student interactions with the portal to investigate more broadly how this type of e-learning works. improve online material, making online learning material, digital learning, intended learning outcomes, assessment for learning
