\nWebinar Description:
\nUtilizing quantitative skills and reasoning is critical in addressing real-world environmental problems. The use of real data can both illustrate the evidence-based thinking behind these environmental problems and their solutions as well as be a ‘hook’ to capture students’ interest. In particular, large, long-term data sets provide an opportunity to engage students with environmental challenges through open-ended exploration and data interpretation. This workshop will use Project EDDIE materials (https:\/\/serc.carleton.edu\/eddie\/index.html) to address what it takes to be ready to teach quantitative reasoning with data in your course including: consideration of how to fit quantitative reasoning experiences into a syllabus, generating learning goals, and setting the context in a class so students are primed to be successful. We will also explore how your learning outcomes can be met using Project EDDIE teaching modules.
\nProject EDDIE is an NSF funded effort engaging faculty from a range of institution types to create flexible classroom modules that aim to expose undergraduate students to real-world experiences. The growing collection of modules includes topics in limnology, environmental science, ecology, phenology, climatology, and hydrology and is freely available online. This workshop will include presentations, small-group work time, an opportunity to explore the Project EDDIE modules and active discussions. Participants will leave with ideas for how they can implement modules in the classroom, and an individual action plan. Workshop participants will be asked to bring a laptop and complete a pre-workshop survey and a short homework assignment.<\/p>\n
