• Students and trainers don’t like learning how to use new things
• Trainees need to be eased in by using familiar stuff

3 Advantages
The Genome Analysis CentreThe Genome Analysis Centre@manuelcorpas
1. Participants can use own – Computers–Web browser
2. Graphical interaction via– X Windowes– IPython– Knitr
3. Compute can be scaled up/down depending on what it’s being taught
