Abstract
A method for creating a course for dynamic provisioning includes receiving, by a creation engine, from a second computing device associated with a user, a request to create a course. The creation engine receives, from the second computing device, an identification of a type of computing resource for use during the course. A service provider computing device is selected from a plurality of service provider computing devices based upon an ability to provide access to the identified type of computing resource. The service provider computing device is instructed to provision a computing resource of the identified type. The second computing device is directed to connect to the provisioned computing resource. The method includes receiving, from the second computing device, an indication that the user configured the provisioned computing resource for use during the course. A state management engine is directed to save a state of the provisioned computing resource.
