About the Data Analytics Platform Lab

What is a DAP Lab?

A DAP lab is an online lab environment that runs on the Data Analytics Platform (DAP), a cloud-based learning platform where you can work on real-world data analytics cases directly in your web browser with no software installation needed.

DAP offers three types of lab environments:

  • RStudio for R programming
  • Jupyter Notebook for Python
  • Orange Data Mining for visual data mining

Each DAP Lab is designed for a specific case and comes preloaded with the required dataset and packages. This means you can start your analysis immediately in your browser without setting up any software.

Where do I find my DAP labs?

Your instructor will create a Coursepack for your course and add the required DAP lab to it.
You’ll access your DAP labs from the Coursepack page they belong to. Before accessing a lab, make sure you enter the correct Coursepack.
