Boston University elevates learning with OpenShift

Jonathan Appavoo, Associate Professor at Boston University, built an innovative, containerized lecture/lab education environment to teach the basics of computer science using Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS and Red Hat OpenShift Data Science. Jonathan uses this containerized cloud services platform on AWS to provide a scalable, industrial-grade Linux environment for the browser-based student learning experience, classroom lectures and open source textbook authoring. Co-opting the Jupyter notebooks technology in OpenShift Data Science, Boston University is able to provide a learning environment for over 300 computer science and computer engineering students that democratizes education. A demo of the student's browser experience and the interactive textbooks is also provided. The research collaboration between Red Hat and Boston University was the catalyst for this project.
