The OEE-RCN is an NSF-funded Research Coordination Network working at the intersection of Open Science and Open Education Resources (OER) with the goal of lowering barriers to adopting computational and data-centric tools in biology undergraduate education. Four open education ecosystems (OEEs) will be designed as stewardship communities that establish, support, and incubate diverse collections of resources addressing the complex ecosystem of support required to meet this goal. While distinct in their computational contexts, the OEEs share cross-cutting themes that address well documented barriers to classroom implementation.
