Learning Math and Statistics on the Cloud, Towards an EC2-Based Google Docs-like Portal for Teaching / Learning Collaboratively with R and Scilab
Karim Chine · 2010
The Elastic-R portal allows educators and students to easily allocate, use and manage cloud resources and to work on the cloud, from standard web browsers, with the most commonly used statistical and mathematical environments such as R and Scilab. Elastic-R enables collaboration and resources sharing as well as interactive local or remote teaching sessions. Elastic-R is also a platform and provides frameworks and tools that make it easy for educators to create their own cloud-based e-Learning tools.
