Scope

This page aggregates publicly available educational materials from the FutureGrid community that have been used in classrooms. Since all materials provided are in an "open source" format, we encourage people to contribute by improving the proposed materials or by adding new materials. The final scope is to define a standard "Cloud Computing Class" (CCC) with the support of FutureGrid. Of course, all comments/contributions are more than welcome!
