Led by Dr. Catherine O’Reilly (Illinois State University), a group of collaborators and I published a paper titled “Using large data sets for open-ended inquiry in undergraduate science classrooms” in the journal BioScience. This paper details Project EDDIE (Environmental Data-Drive Inquiry and Exploration), a project aimed at getting large and complex data sets into undergraduate classrooms to give them valuable data-analysis skills through . The collaborators developed a series of free modules that can be adapted or adopted in a range of courses, class sizes, and institutions. The paper abstract can be viewed here and the full article can be viewed here.
