Activity location: Within the Moodle course (link above) --> "Numerical Model Fundamentals - Training" --> Lesson: Numerical stability and grid choice --> half-way through the content in "Clever grid choice for model stability" section.

This Jupyter Notebook activity explores the stability of time-integration methods used in numerical models. I used Google Code Laboratory as a way of users running python code online without having to install a python server or any specialist application first. 

My critique of this activity is that users must navigate away from the training content, download, then upload the notebook activity to their personal Google Code Laboratory. Too many steps before preforming the coding activity.

Do you know of any way that Moodle could facilitate running of a jupyter notebook within an existing course (i-frame maybe)?

Do you have any suggested improvements to how the activity is run within the Jupyter Notebook?
