DataHub is Berkeley’s campus-wide platform that supports tools like Jupyter Notebooks, RStudio, and VSCode, all accessible right from your browser. It’s used in 100+ courses across 30+ departments to support hands-on learning in data science, engineering, and more.
Whether you’re brand new or already using it, drop by these open office hours to get help, explore new features, or talk through ideas.
New to DataHub? We can walk you through:
- Setting up your course environment
- Sharing notebooks from GitHub
- Troubleshooting student issues
- Creating accessible materials
Already using DataHub? Ask about recent updates including a JupyterLab extension built by our student developer team that performs basic accessibility checks on Jupyter Notebooks and evaluates compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines. The extension helps authors identify and address common accessibility issues related to tables, headers, images, and links in a Jupyter Notebook.
Planning to drop by? Let us know!
