Library and Technology Services is pleased to introduce DataCamp, an online learning platform specializing in teaching data literacy for all skill levels and roles. Following extensive testing and consultation, we have determined that DataCamp is the best platform to help the Lehigh community become more data-driven in our teaching, learning, and everyday work. The platform is free to all faculty, students, and staff.
Why DataCamp?
At Lehigh, we understand that data skills aren’t just for a small handful of roles anymore. Today, they’re essential to every major industry. DataCamp makes it easy for everyone to learn new skills specific to their role. From data concepts to coding, all training is interactive. It is also simple to start using. There is no installation as all learning takes place in a web browser, where students will have the opportunity to follow expert-led courses, complete bite-sized exercises, and receive real-time feedback.
The platform is customizable. Individual teams (or courses) can be set up, as well as custom learning tracks that supplement the many pre-built learning tracks developed for achieving career and skill goals.
Ready-to-use Workspaces
DataCamp offers ready-to-use Workspace environments, AI-enabled data notebooks to discover and share insights effortlessly. Workspaces run in a fully-managed, cloud-hosted environment with R/Python, built-in support for SQL, and all commonly used data science packages pre-installed. Workspaces also support real-time collaborations where multiple users can jump in and edit or comment during code development.
