Noteable is a cloud-based computational notebook service developed by EDINA at the University of Edinburgh, that provides access to the most commonly used computational notebooks including Python and R. Notebooks available within Noteable come with a large number of libraries and extensions already set up. Noteable comes with an auto-grading feature enabling teachers to set assignments for a class of learners with defined rules around automated marking of the code that the learner has written. An excellent way to quickly mark assessments.

Compared to the classic programming language development environment, computational notebooks provide a less daunting, menu-based interface to ease the novice programmer into a coding environment. Notebooks contain all the components of a coding activity in one place e.g. code, data, and resulting visualisations and can be easily packaged up and shared with others. They are viewed as a safe, low-barrier entry point for those new to coding.

Testimonials
“We are teaching different skills to what we are accustomed to. With Noteable, we have been able to discover the new experience of coding in Law. Thanks to Noteable we can teach how computers reason and what computational thinking is about” Ciaran O’Kelly, Lecturer in School of Law, Queens University Belfast
“This term we have really been taking things week by week, both learning to teach the Python language and to teach remotely. This was a completely new experience and the prospect of teaching coding was made significantly easier with the Noteable platform. The new ways of reasoning and thinking that have been enabled with Noteable is giving positively different, relevant perspectives to students.” - Lecturer in Law, Queen’s University Belfast
“We’ve had a number of new staff teach assignments with both coding exercises and mathematical problems on one platform. There are increasing demands for skills related to mathematical computing and having an integrated platform for this has enabled us to save a lot of time during workshops and tutorials by having students launch Noteable directly through the Virtual Learning Environment” - Lecturer in Mathematics, University of Edinburgh
“Students find it easy to get started with Noteable. For novice coders it is a lot less intimidating than using, for example, an IDE. With everything being in the browser, time is saved, ease of use is increased and coding is made more accessible.” - Senior Lecturer in Geography, Kings College London

The FAQ page has a collection of questions that often get asked.
There are descriptions of each of the Notebook Servers, which will give the users of Noteable an idea of what libraries and extensions are installed in each of them.
This is not a comprehensive list, however it does list the libraries and extensions specifically chosen to install.
Hover over the library name for a brief description of that library, and the version installed. Each library should also link to the documentation for that library.
