Getting Started

What is a Coursepack?

A Coursepack is a customized collection of cases and labs created for a specific course. Educators or Coursepack administrators can select and combine multiple cases and labs to build a customized Coursepack that supports their teaching objectives. Students then enroll in the Coursepack to conveniently access all required learning materials in one place.

What is a DAP Lab?

The Data Analytics Platform (DAP) is a cloud-based learning platform designed to facilitate analytics case teaching. It provides students with ready-to-use, browser-based lab environments for hands‑on data analysis with no installation required.

DAP currently supports three types of lab environments:

• RStudio (R)
• Jupyter Notebook (Python)
• Orange Data Mining

A DAP Lab is an online workspace where students work on data analytics cases using embedded datasets and preloaded packages. Each lab comes with all required packages, enabling students to begin analysis immediately within their web browser.

If you are interested in adopting data analytics cases and labs in your teaching, please contact info@acrc.hku.hk for more information.
