Modern Vocareum lab types are in general release. Please contact support@vocareum.com to set up a compatible course.
Vocareum Notebook is our flagship, cloud-based Jupyter notebook built to empower educators with streamlined task automation and advanced budget governance for GPU training and OpenAI credits.
Creating a Vocareum Notebook Lab
From the course page select "Edit Assignment" and "New Assignment"
Create a name for the assignment and select your lab type. In this case "Vocareum Notebook". Press "Save and continue".
Now that your first Part has been created, return to the Assignment settings. Under Actions select Configure Workspace to begin uploading coursework to your assignment.
Configure Workspace and Releasing Data
Selecting "Configure Workspace" will open the "teacher view". Instructors can upload and test coursework, upload datasets, and release work to learners from here.
Upload your Jupyter Notebook file to /startercode and when ready select Update to release your coursework to learner workareas.
To release large data sets to learners, place your files in the voc/data/ directory. This will create a read-only copy of your data file to be released to the learner's workarea.
Enabling GPU and OpenAI functionality
From the Part settings, navigate to Resources and you will find the options to turn enable GPU Execution and OpenAI API Key Generation.
GPU settings allow control over budget over time in minutes.
OpenAI settings allow budgeting over OpenAI use for each learner. When the budget is enabled learners will automatically have a Vocareum-managed OpenAI api key, without them having to create their own account.
Student View
Instructors have the ability to view, interact and troubleshoot their Vocareum Notebook as a student would, using the Student View feature.
