Lumio
Lumio is a web-based learning platform that offers more ways to effortlessly make learning fun and engaging on student devices.
Teachers can start from scratch, or import existing content like PDFs, Google Slides, PowerPoints, and Canva designs and transform them into dynamic, engaging learning experiences on any device. Within Lumio, they can mix and match file types and add interactive elements like games, collaborative whiteboards, handouts, and assessments, all from a single place. Teachers can even share content with colleagues through shared libraries and co-edit lessons in real-time to leverage one another’s classroom experiences.
Tools like instructional audio, activity dashboards, and the ability to offer real-time feedback make Lumio a one-stop shop for teachers. It allows them to personalize learning, enable student creation, and gain insight into learning.
Not only does Lumio offer more ways to engage students, it’s also specifically designed to improve outcomes – it’s not just fun, it works! With the Research-Based Design Certification from Digital Promise, educators and administrators can feel confident in the benefits of using Lumio.
With 3 available plan options, there’s an option for everyone.

PySpark
PySpark serves as the Python interface for Apache Spark, enabling the development of Spark applications through Python APIs and offering an interactive shell for data analysis in a distributed setting. In addition to facilitating Python-based development, PySpark encompasses a wide range of Spark functionalities, including Spark SQL, DataFrame support, Streaming capabilities, MLlib for machine learning, and the core features of Spark itself. Spark SQL, a dedicated module within Spark, specializes in structured data processing and introduces a programming abstraction known as DataFrame, functioning also as a distributed SQL query engine. Leveraging the capabilities of Spark, the streaming component allows for the execution of advanced interactive and analytical applications that can process both real-time and historical data, while maintaining the inherent advantages of Spark, such as user-friendliness and robust fault tolerance. Furthermore, PySpark's integration with these features empowers users to handle complex data operations efficiently across various datasets.

Bokeh
Bokeh simplifies the creation of standard visualizations while also accommodating unique or specialized scenarios. It allows users to publish plots, dashboards, and applications seamlessly on web pages or within Jupyter notebooks. The Python ecosystem boasts a remarkable collection of robust analytical libraries such as NumPy, Scipy, Pandas, Dask, Scikit-Learn, and OpenCV. With its extensive selection of widgets, plotting tools, and user interface events that can initiate genuine Python callbacks, the Bokeh server serves as a vital link, enabling the integration of these libraries into dynamic, interactive visualizations accessible via the browser. Additionally, Microscopium, a project supported by researchers at Monash University, empowers scientists to uncover new functions of genes or drugs through the exploration of extensive image datasets facilitated by Bokeh’s interactive capabilities. Another useful tool, Panel, which is developed by Anaconda, enhances data presentation by leveraging the Bokeh server. It streamlines the creation of custom interactive web applications and dashboards by linking user-defined widgets to a variety of elements, including plots, images, tables, and textual information, thus broadening the scope of data interaction possibilities. This combination of tools fosters a rich environment for data analysis and visualization, making it easier for researchers and developers to share their insights.
