Body
Google Colab (short for Colaboratory) is a cloud-based tool provided by Google that allows you to write and execute Python code in a Jupyter Notebook environment, without needing to install anything on your computer. It's especially popular for machine learning, data analysis, and education because of its ease of use and integration with Google's cloud services.
Colab notebooks are stored in a Google Drive account and can be shared with other users, similar to other Google Drive files. The notebooks also include an autosave feature, but they do not support simultaneous editing, so collaboration must be serial rather than parallel.
Who can access Colab?
Colab is free to all UGA students, faculty, and staff with their Google Workspace license
