Give students access to the lab servers - and take it back
Prof. Gabriel von Brandt gives every student a Beam-in code for the lab servers in a minute, and switches each code off when the course ends.
Prof. von Brandt about Awacino
- What I like
- One code per student, and I see at any time who can reach the lab servers.
- Use case
- I use Awacino to let my students run their analyses on the lab servers from wherever they are.
- What works better than with alternative solutions
- No VPN accounts to request from the IT department and no open port in the university firewall - and a code is off with one tap.
Coming soonThe story
The lab's GPU workstation and compute server run day and night, but the students are rarely in the lab. Awacino runs unattended on the servers; each student gets a Beam-in code and reaches the servers at their usual address, direct and encrypted.
We are filming this tutorial right now. Until it is here, the parts of Awacino it uses are linked below - and you can try the same with two free slots.
What the tutorial will show
- Awacino runs unattended on the lab server
- Create one Beam-in code per student
- The student connects from home
- Switch a code off when the course ends
