生物医学大数据培训中心（BBDTC，https://biobigdata.ucsd.edu）是一个面向社区的平台，旨在通过培训和教育方面的协作努力，鼓励高质量的知识传播，以培育一个消息灵通的生物医学大数据社区。BBDTC协作平台是一个电子学习平台，支持生物医学界获取、开发和部署开放的培训材料。BBDTC为各级、不同背景的生物医学科学家提供大数据技能培训。课程的自然层级结构使其能够被分解并作为模块来处理。模块可以在多门课程中重复使用并重新组合，生成一个新的、不同的动态课程，称为播放列表。用户可以创建播放列表以满足自己的学习需求，并与个人用户或更广泛的公众分享。BBDTC利用HUBzero内容管理平台的成熟度和设计来提供教育内容。为了便于现有内容的迁移，BBDTC支持从edX平台导入和导出课程材料。未来迁移工具将扩展以支持其他平台。实践培训软件包，即工具箱，通过亚马逊EC2和Virtualbox虚拟化技术提供支持，它们以下列形式提供：（i）可下载的轻量级Virtualbox镜像，在个人计算机上提供带有软件包和测试数据的标准化软件工具环境；（ii）可远程访问的亚马逊EC2虚拟机，用于访问生物医学大数据工具和可扩展的大数据实验。目前，BBDTC网站包含三门开放的生物医学大数据培训课程，有授课内容、视频以及利用虚拟机工具箱进行的实践培训，涵盖不同的主题。这些课程通过提供结构化内容，使用户能够按照自己的节奏学习，从而增强了实践学习环境。2016年计划开发一个由四门课程组成的生物医学大数据系列课程。
The BBDTC (https://biobigdata.ucsd.edu) is a community-oriented platform to encourage high-quality knowledge dissemination with the aim of growing a well-informed biomedical big data community through collaborative efforts on training and education. The BBDTC collaborative is an e-learning platform that supports the biomedical community to access, develop and deploy open training materials. The BBDTC supports Big Data skill training for biomedical scientists at all levels, and from varied backgrounds. The natural hierarchy of courses allows them to be broken into and handled as modules. Modules can be reused in the context of multiple courses and reshuffled, producing a new and different, dynamic course called a playlist. Users may create playlists to suit their learning requirements and share it with individual users or the wider public. BBDTC leverages the maturity and design of the HUBzero content-management platform for delivering educational content. To facilitate the migration of existing content, the BBDTC supports importing and exporting course material from the edX platform. Migration tools will be extended in the future to support other platforms. Hands-on training software packages, i.e., toolboxes, are supported through Amazon EC2 and Virtualbox virtualization technologies, and they are available as: (i) downloadable lightweight Virtualbox Images providing a standardized software tool environment with software packages and test data on their personal machines, and (ii) remotely accessible Amazon EC2 Virtual Machines for accessing biomedical big data tools and scalable big data experiments. At the moment, the BBDTC site contains three open Biomedical big data training courses with lecture contents, videos and hands-on training utilizing VM toolboxes, covering diverse topics. The courses have enhanced the hands-on learning environment by providing structured content that users can use at their own pace. A four course biomedical big data series is planned for development in 2016.
