THE VOCAREUM PLATFORM

Lab infrastructure for
AI, cloud, and data

Deliver secure, browser-based labs and sandboxes where learners work with containers, VMs, GPUs, notebooks, AI models, and live cloud services — without local setup, unmanaged accounts, or infrastructure complexity.

INTRODUCING VOCAREUM ATLAS

Build real-world learning experiences in minutes, not months.

Turn prompts, objectives, and course materials into interactive experiences where learners move from guided scenarios into real tools, labs, decisions, and assessment.

From sales-call simulations and customer-support role-plays to healthcare scenarios, data science workflows, and cybersecurity incidents, Atlas is built for every kind of real-world practice.

PLATFORM

Everything needed to run real technical labs at scale

Without a platform layer, the work falls on you: IT teams burn weeks standing up environments, credentials sprawl across unmanaged accounts, and cloud bills arrive with no guardrails. Vocareum handles the problems you know too well — setup friction, real environments, support load, budget control, and integration.

Launch without setup friction

No installs, drivers, local dependencies, unmanaged accounts, or credential chaos.

Real interactive environments

VMs, desktops, notebooks, terminals, IDEs, cloud consoles, GPUs, databases, SDKs, APIs, and AI tools.

Govern every resource

Budgets, policies, quotas, idle timers, session limits, model access, and auto-teardown.

Reserve capacity for live programs

Pre-provision resources for workshops, hackathons, training events, and high-stakes cohorts.

Support learners inside the lab

AI assistance for errors, logs, code, setup issues, hints, and repeated support questions.

Create and reuse labs faster

Start from reusable patterns, then customize environments, instructions, datasets, and assessments.

Measure real work

Assess code, notebooks, cloud tasks, configurations, deployments, projects, and learner activity.

Integrate with your systems

LMS, LTI, SSO, APIs, gradebooks, customer academies, and internal platforms.

ANY MODALITY

Deliver learning every way you train, from one platform

However your learners show up (self-paced, live, online, or on campus), Vocareum delivers the same real environments, governance, and in-lab support underneath.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

PLATFORM & CAPABILITIES

What is the difference between Vocareum and simulated learning environments?

The difference is what learners actually touch. Simulated environments imitate real tools with mock interfaces or pre-recorded screens, so the skills don’t fully transfer. Vocareum instead provides real, production-grade cloud environments, agentic AI workspaces, and IDEs (like VS Code and Jupyter). Learners execute actual code and live cloud commands in isolated, governed containers or cloud accounts — so what they learn applies directly to real-world engineering work. You can still build guided, scenario-based experiences on top of this infrastructure; the environment underneath is always the real thing, never a mock-up.

Vocareum guarantees cost predictability through hard budget caps, policy guardrails, and automated resource teardowns. Administrators can set precise dollar limits per learner or per assignment. If a learner hits their cap or leaves a session idle, Vocareum automatically suspends the cloud resources (AWS, Azure, GCP) to prevent runaway billing.

Every learner on Vocareum receives a strictly isolated, per-learner container or dedicated cloud account. We use a governed execution layer that ensures complete data privacy, security, and performance consistency, even when scaling to tens of thousands of concurrent users.

INTEGRATION & ECOSYSTEM

Vocareum integrates natively with all major LMS platforms via LTI 1.3 (and LTI 1.1). This includes plug-and-play integrations with Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and D2L Brightspace.

Yes. Vocareum supports Single Sign-On (SSO) via SAML 2.0. For Enterprise and EdTech partners, Vocareum provides a robust REST API that allows you to fully white-label the lab experience and embed it natively within your own proprietary platform or product interface.

Vocareum provides governed, direct-console access to Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Databricks. We support both Vocareum-managed accounts and Bring Your Own Account (BYOA) architectures.

AI & AGENTIC CAPABILITIES

The Vocareum AI Gateway allows institutions to provide learners with access to leading foundation models (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock) without exposing raw API keys. Administrators manage all model access, set usage budgets, and enforce security policies from a single centralized control plane.

Yes. Vocareum’s Agentic AI Labs are pre-configured to support real IDE-to-agent-to-cloud workflows. Learners can build, test, and deploy agentic frameworks using tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Amazon Q directly within our browser-based developer workspaces.

Yes. Build with Claude Code or any tool you like, bring the app to Vocareum, and we deliver it to your learners at scale — authentication, resource management, and governed AI access included.

Vocareum’s AI Compass is a faculty-configurable, Socratic AI tutor. It is grounded strictly in the instructor’s course materials and rubrics. Instead of handing learners the answers, it provides contextual hints and adaptive guidance based on the learner’s actual code execution, ensuring academic integrity while scaling personalized support.

ASSESSMENT & VALIDATION

Yes. Vocareum supports advanced auto-grading through custom bash scripts, API endpoints, and AI-assisted grading. The platform can automatically validate code output, check cloud infrastructure configurations (like verifying an AWS S3 bucket was created correctly), and sync the grades instantly back to the parent LMS.

Yes. Vocareum is engineered for global enterprise and academic compliance. The platform is GDPR compliant, FERPA compliant, and meets WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards.
