1. EOSC-Synergy services.

EOSC-Synergy services provide a set of features that is focused on teaching and learning. This set consists of Moodle, Videochat, Jupyter Notebooks, Shared Drive, Infrastructure Manager and Hackathon as a Service.

1.1. Moodle – Learning Management System.

Massive open online courses platform based on the worldwide most popular Moodle platform. Platform provides interactive courses capabilities with user forums to support community interactions among students and tutors as well as immediate feedback to quick quizzes and assignments.

The platform can be used in two ways. One is accessing the content that has already been created by others and the second one is creating the content by yourself. Everyone can use our Moodle instance to access the open courses but if you want to be more involved (quizzes, content creation etc.) you do need to create an account. Information about this can be found here.

The administration of the platform has all the rights to verify the content of newly created courses so that it stays within the EOSC goals. Any content deviations will be targeted (it might even lead to a complete course removal).

1.2. Videochat – video conference tool.

Conduct online training and consultation wherever you are. Talk, share screen, upload files without installing applications. The video conferencing tool is based on the edumeet software.

Videoconference service is an open access tool that can be used by everyone. This is a great way to communicate with other people online. You can use it to create a new room and send the invite link to others. This service also comes with a chat feature that can be useful if someone is unable to use voice to communicate.

1.3. Jupyter Notebooks – online programming tool.

Service based on Jupyter Notebook enables the creation and sharing of documents containing “live” code, equations, visualizations and texts. It allows to write simple programs, numerical simulations, statistical modeling, data visualization and much more.

Online tools allow you to easily and quickly share personal documents, the results of teams, the work of individual trainees. The service is used to securely store and synchronize files. The service is based on the open source NextCloud software.

2. Training resources catalogue.

A lot of resources have been made in the course of the project. Because of their richness in knowledge and know-how, they are a very good way of helping other people in the future. Not to lose this valuable asset is really important.

This database of documents can be found on the main Learn EOSC-Synergy website on the catalogue page. They are being presented in the form of a table with a lot of different filtering options to ensure that users can find exactly whatever they are looking for.

The administration of the platform has all the rights to verify the content of newly uploaded training materials so that they stay within the EOSC goals. Any content deviations will be targeted (it might even lead to a complete training material removal).

The process of adding new training materials is very simple. Just send the files attached to a message that explains the content. Please send the emails to this address: support-learn-synergy@man.poznan.pl
