January 2022 Workshop & Community Building Overview

This workshop concluded February 10, 2022

Curriculum Development Workshop: Held virtually, via Zoom

Thursday, Jan 20 Kick-off meeting (10-3 Central)
Thursday, Jan 27 (10-3 Central)
Thursday, Feb 10 (12-4 Central)
An additional follow-on meeting will be scheduled for Share Out & Dissemination Planning

As part of this curriculum development and community building experience, participants from a variety of institution types and environmental fields (e.g., ecology, Earth science, hydrology, geology, oceanography, limnology, etc.) will learn and share strategies expertise teaching quantitative reasoning with openly available data. They will use this knowledge to construct EDDIE teaching modules that fit in a class they teach in the Spring or Fall 2022. Participants will also have their modules peer and externally reviewed to generate a collection of teaching modules that are broadly appealing. At the end of this experience there will be a new set of EDDIE teaching materials publicly available to anyone teaching in these fields. Participants will also help plan dissemination opportunities that engage new audiences.

Goals

The goals of this experience are to:

Connect with colleagues with a shared interest in teaching inquiry with open data
Learn about strategies for teaching with large datasets that improve quantitative reasoning in students
Develop a Project EDDIE module using openly available data for a class you will be teaching, with the end goal of piloting the module and publishing it to the Project EDDIE collections
Participate in a peer review and dissemination planning event to improve materials and help build a new community of EDDIE teaching material users
