Software Architecture
HeLx: EduHeLx
Description
EduHeLx was born out of HeLx as an education-focused instance providing cloud-based programming. EduHeLx has been deployed in the UNC-Chapel Hill course, COMP 116: Introduction to Scientific Programming, successfully enabling students to code in the cloud. In the same ways that HeLx is designed to be a flexible and fully-customizable space which empowers researchers to easily work with their data, EduHeLx empowers students to explore the field of data science in an environment which prioritizes student investigation, focus, and cooperative discovery. EduHeLx instances are launched for each individual educator and course, making them fully customizable and unique for the students and material that will be a part of that classroom. This flexible yet powerful infrastructure creates an ideal digital learning space for students both new and experienced with data science.
RENCI's Role
Ashok Krishnamurthy and Isma Gilani serve as co-PIs for EduHeLx. RENCI is developing EduHeLx in collaboration with UNC’s School of Data Science and Society (SDSS).
