TIaaS provides a service which Galaxy administrators can deploy, enabling them to easily providing training infrastructure, as a service, to their user community. We built TIaaS to streamline the process of hosting courses and training events on the Galaxy platform.
It enables:
- Administrators to control who is using their infrastructure for courses
- Teachers to easily request resources
- Teachers to monitor their classes and run efficient trainings
- Administrators to dedicate resources to trainings, enabling them to run smoothly and efficiently.
Once a training request is approved, teachers receive and share with students a URL like https://usegalaxy.eu/join-training/test (this is live, you can test it out!)
Upon visiting, students are automatically added to a group named training-test (and
a role automatically created.) It works on the basis of running underneath the
path prefix of Galaxy and so having access to the Galaxy session cookie. This
is decoded into a user id + the part after /join-training/ decoded into a
group name, and this change is made.
For teachers giving trainings, we now offer a "status" page where they can see the training queue of their class, both jobs and workflows.
Point your users to this service to register their training
Admins can manage TIaaS courses in their view.
