What an interesting idea!
Most of our courses require a YugabyteDB cluster, so an on-demand YugabyteDB Managed free cluster is a great option.
If a course requires a YugabyteDB cluster, the course will provide two options:
(1) a lab provides instructions for how to sign up for a YugabyteDB Managed free cluster, or...
(2) an on-demand, lab environment that includes a YugabyteDB cluster.
A big THANK YOU from the team at Yugabyte University!
