Jupyter Notebooks

If you want your studnets to work in Jupyter Notebooks in your course, there are at least two options:

• JupyterHub, provided through L&S IT
• Google CoLab, provides as part of the UCSB Google Drive subscription

Requesting a JupyterHub site

To request a JupyterHub site as a faculty member, use this link:

Using Google Colab at UCSB

For Google Colab, access Google Drive after logging in with your UCSBNetId.

Click the + New button, and you should see something like the screenshot below.

• Use the More option at the bottom of the menu, and then look in the additional options.
• If you already see Google Colaboratory, then you have Google Colab installed already.
• If not, go to the bottom option that says + Connect More Apps. Search for “Colaboratory” and go through the steps to install it. You will need to instruct your students to do this also.
