Evaluating the Wide Area Classroom after 10,500 HPC Students

As of mid-2018 we have taught over 10,500 students in the course of 58 events using the Wide Area Classroom, a novel distributed teaching platform. This has been a successful effort gauged by several important metrics. We describe both the technical and logistical structure of these events as well as the specific HPC curriculums which have proven to be most popular.
