Scripting and modelling play a crucial role in the spatial data science framework and are essential skills in any data science-related courses. ArcGIS Notebooks provide a seamless way to work with Python code and spatial data from within ArcGIS platform. It is a tool for GIS professionals, data scientists, and developers who want to work with geospatial data in a collaborative and interactive environment.
ArcGIS Notebooks offers a similar user-friendly Jupyter Notebook coding environment and more:
ArcGIS Notebooks can be found in ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS Pro. All the three includes pre-defined notebook environments (“runtimes”) that contain over 400 open-source Python libraries, plus the ArcGIS API for Python and ArcPy. This means that you can run ArcPy tools in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise, in addition to ArcGIS Pro.
ArcGIS Notebooks in ArcGIS Online is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering.
Note: You will need your ArcGIS Online administrator to enable a few user privileges in the setting to use ArcGIS Notebooks in ArcGIS Online. Refer to this PDF lesson on how to enable ArcGIS Notebooks for your organization.

ArcGIS Pro Notebooks is part of ArcGIS core functionality. No additional installation or license needed.
Learn How to create and add Python notebooks in ArcGIS Pro
ArcGIS Notebooks is an ideal tool for teaching data science courses. It enables students to learn Python in a practical and interactive way by providing a step-by-step interface for spatial data analysis tasks. With the web-based version, students can access it from anywhere, making it easy for them to collaborate on projects and assignments.
Using ArcGIS Notebooks, instructors can create interactive notebooks as teaching materials, and assignments. Because it is part of ArcGIS, it is a lot easier for the students to access the data or layer hosted in ArcGIS from within ArcGIS Notebooks.
In addition, with ArcGIS Notebooks, it is not necessary to manage multiple Python environments or keep libraries consistent and up to date between them. ArcGIS Notebooks includes hundreds of data science libraries and can add more libraries.
The three deployments are included with Esri Education Program licenses. Contact your Esri license administrator for access to ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Notebooks in ArcGIS Online, or ArcGIS Notebooks in ArcGIS Enterprise.
Following tutorial series can be adopted for the classroom
