The Project EDDIE Module Development & Community Building Experience will be held online via Zoom as half day meetings on January 20, 27, and February 10. This workshop facilitates participants developing teaching modules that pair scientific concepts and quantitative reasoning with teaching with data. They follow a tested design rubric developed by Project EDDIE and resulting materials will be published as part of a growing collection.

During the workshop you will construct a 1-day module that uses an openly available dataset for a specific ecology, limnology, geology, oceanography, hydrology, or environmental science course. Each module will focus on a scientific concept and address a set of quantitative reasoning or analytical skills using large, openly available datasets following the Project EDDIE module structure. Interactive peer review, module share out meetings following the workshop will help you improve your materials before you pilot them. 

Participants will be expected to: 

• attend the workshop and develop a module 

• attend one virtual peer review and one module share out and planning session 

• teach and revise their materials 

• and make revisions from the peer review and an external review before publishing. 

Final modules will be published online by December 2022. Participants will be provided a $1500 stipend for completing, testing and publishing their module.

This workshop also provides special opportunities to:

• Understand how working with large datasets improves quantitative reasoning in students

• Incorporate your module into your syllabus/course schedule and develop an assessment plan

• Meet new people who share similar interests in teaching and working with data 

There is no registration cost for attending this meeting. 

The application deadline for this workshop is November 28, 2021 (extended). We hope to see you there!
