NDP Classroom Set-up

The general steps to create and set-up an NDP classroom are the following:

  1. Before you can create a classroom, you must have set up and published your modules.
  2. Go to the Educator Portal within the NDP Education Hub.
  3. Click on New Classroom.
  4. Fill in the main module information:
    • Title of Class: The title of your class.
    • Class Code: The unique class code used in your institution's program (for example, MSCS123).
    • Semester/Quarter: The semester (1st, 2nd/Fall, Spring) or quarter (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer) in which the class is taught.
    • Year: The year in which the course is being taken.
    • Institution: The name of your institution where the course is being taught.
  5. Be sure to fill in all of the previous fields before clicking on Set Up Classroom.

  6. Add groups: Students are placed in a classroom as groups. This allows them to work together and share resources within JupyterHub. For each group, assign a unique name and a list of student email addresses separated by commas (e.g. student1@ucsd.edu, student2@ucsd.edu, student3@ucsd.edu). Before adding students to groups, students must log in to NDP so that the system recognizes them as NDP users and allows them to join groups.

  7. Add Modules: Click on Add a module to add modules with a due date to your classroom. Your modules must be published before you can select them from the drop down menu.

  8. Save your classroom.
  9. Publish your classroom: Before publishing, you can still make changes to your classroom, such as changing the class information, groups, and modules. However, once you have published a classroom, you cannot make any changes.
