+Veda online is free for students
+################################
+
+ETSAP and KanORS have created a free online platform where students can learn Veda-TIMES modeling.
+
+Getting started
+===============
+
+    * A permanent staff member of a degree granting institution needs to register on Veda online (**with the institutional email address**) and request ETSAP for free access for students.
+    * On approval, anyone who registers with an email address from that institution will have access to the free platform.
+
+Model folders must reside on GitHub to be used on Veda online. There are YouTube videos to introduce new users to the platform.
+
+Features of the free platform
+=============================
+
+    * The platform is meant to support only pedagogical use.
+    * Runs will be sent to the NEOS server, which limits the RAM usage to 3GB.
+    * Only public GitHub repos are supported on this platform, and the models created will also remain open.
+        * Paid academic and other licenses allow using private repos and creating private models.
+    * We may need to introduce some resource limits depending on the uptake of this service:
+        * Each user will be able to keep up to 3 models and retain up to 20 cases in each.
+        * Accounts that are inactive for 3 months will be deleted.
+        * Runs will be terminated if they take more than 5 minutes.
