  1. WP6 SkillsDevelopment Lowering EOSC adoptionbarriers MarcinPlociennik PSNC

  2. Adding training as fully-fledged EOSC Portal component CURRENT SITUATION • Lack of a global EOSC wide coherent approach to training. • Training materials scattered. • Lack of funding for training in situ. EOSC-SYNERGY will • Add training as fully-fledged EOSC Portal component. • Provide guidelines and recommendations for high-quality training materials, oriented to training the trainers. • Provide infrastructure to support self-learning. • Provide infrastructure for massive open online courses (MOOCs). www.eosc-synergy.eu

  3. Objectives • Provide online platforms for content creation/hosting of training material and running hackathons • Provide guidance and resources to support trainers in the best use of these platforms and to create quality resources • Create a means of demonstrating quality through an accredited trainer program • Work with national academic institutions to embed skills and resources • Create guidelines to publicize and improve visibility of training materials. www.eosc-synergy.eu

  4. Focus • WP6 does not aim to be a catalogue of all EOSC materials, only those created on this platform; • WP6 will not curate/update training materials; • We will rely on previous H2020 projects to identify a framework of skills; • We will focus only on developing materials to ‘train the trainers’ and selected materials of general interest www.eosc-synergy.eu

  5. Tasks • T6.1 Deployment and customization of the training platform (Lead partner: PSNC 21PM, Contributors: CSIC 8PM, DANS 3PM, Jisc 3PM) – Task duration: M1- M21 • T6.2 Methodology and certification of the tutorials (Lead partner: Jisc 18PM, Contributors: DANS 7PM, PSNC 6PM, CSIC 3PM) – Task duration: M1-M30 • T6.3 Interaction with national educational programmes(Lead partner: CSIC 4PM, Contributors: LIP 3PM, PSNC 3PM, CESNET 3PM, UPV 3PM, Jisc 3PM, INCD 3PM, KIT 3PM) – Task duration: M15-M30 www.eosc-synergy.eu

  8. T6.1 Deployment and customization of the training platform MOOC platform (PSNC), Hackathon as a Service (BIFI-UNIZAR)

  9. MOOC platform (PSNC) • The central platform for MOOC training will be set up as-a-service to be included in EOSC Portal • The platform will be based on open source software to be chosen after evaluation of most commonly used platforms • Examples: Moodle, edX www.eosc-synergy.eu

  10. Training as a service (PSNC) Phase 1: Month1-3 • M6.1: Identification of tools to be used for platforms (Month3), • We will focus on the identification from technical perspective • Hints from T6.2 on the initiative scouting highly welcome Phase 2: Month 4-5 • Basic service in place, based on combination of the identified tools Phase 3: Month 6-9 (but continuation till 21) • Extension with the new capabilities in terms of self-deployable training infrastructure and courses on the EOSC infrastructure. • First release of the customized training platform including the self-deployable tutorials capabilities, and HaaS platform (Month9) Phase 4: Month 12-21 • Customization according to the identified service requirements (e.g. related with the taxonomy for discovery and filtering, requirements and methodology worked out in task 6.2) www.eosc-synergy.eu

  11. Best practices (JISC, DANS) • In collaboration with task 6.2, the MOOC and hackathon platforms will be enriched with best practice guides, examples and tutorials on how to create EOSC-related tutorials using the new technical capabilities. www.eosc-synergy.eu

  12. HaaS (I) CSIC/BiFi • Hackathon: sprint-like event in which computer programmers and others involved in software development (UI and graphic designers or project managers) collaborate intensively on software projects with the goal of creating a functioning product by the end of the event (typically 24-48 hours) • Actors: • Hackathon organisers: they need an agile a flexible tool to manage the hardware infrastructure and software to be provided to hundreds of participants • Hackathons participants: they need an environment easy and ready to use where hardware and software resources are available • Infrastructure providers: they must guarantee reliable infrastructure to users and flexibility to manage VM for hackathon organisers • Dataset & API providers: datasets of scientific fields are usually unexploited as they are considered hard to understand for commercial or individual usage www.eosc-synergy.eu

  13. HaaS (II) • Hackathons require very agile and dynamic environments, where participants should put all their effort in the working prototype development, not worrying about technical issues or organisational aspects   • In order to guarantee the technical support, hackathon organisers often rely on external (typically commercial) solutions as they usually do not have advanced computing infrastructures or sufficient technical knowledge to manage them • The use of EOSC infrastructures to support hackathons can be a complementary way to bring our technologies and scientific problems to young and external people www.eosc-synergy.eu

  14. The idea A platform to facilitate the organisation of hackathons on the EOSC infrastructure and accessible through the EOSC Portal • Hackathon organisers can create and publish hackathons, describing the rules and technical requirements • Users can find and join hackathons • Infrastructure providers can offer their infrastructure to support hackathons • Dataset providers will provide datasets to be analyzed • API providers can provide a set of functionalities to help participants in their development (very specific functions) www.eosc-synergy.eu

  15. Similar platforms? • There are platforms to search, publish, promote hackathons. But they are not, to our knowledge, open platforms with these objectives and functionalities • Hash code (Google) with Judge System – it cannot be used to freely create hackathons • https://post.devpost.com/hackathons - just organisation (registration, submitting and judging), no infrastructure, data or APIs • https://www.the-hackfest.com/ - list of hackathons, meeting point for organisers, sponsors, judges • http://www.mhackathon.com/ - Hackathon as a service, but “manually” • https://github.com/codeRIT/hackathon-manager - registration & logistics, no infrastructure, data or APIs • https://mettl.com/en/coding-tests/hackathon/ - only coordination www.eosc-synergy.eu

  16. Startingpoint (I) • Prototype developed to cover our own requirements, based on our previous experiences in local hackathons • It aims to simplify hackathon virtual infrastructure creation by organisers at the way we used to do with OpenStack dashboard (HORIZON) • ORGANISERS: can define, setup and publish a hackathon, in order to specify size, source image, number of machines per hackathon participant and other stuff • PARTICIPANTS: can enrol in hackathons, launch the creation of the virtual infrastructure where they develop their code, make calculations, or whatever they need to solve the challenge http://hackaton-manager.bifi.es/ www.eosc-synergy.eu
