Series – Using Data for Instruction</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bringing data into the classroom early (undergraduate) and
often in support of quantitative literacy and just plain fun is the goal of
these sessions. ICPSR hosts a wide
variety of <a href="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/instructors/index.jsp">Resources
for Instructors</a> as well as several data tools that can be used to get
students interested in data and data analysis without the intimidation factor.
Part of the 2014 Data Fair, webinars in this series (with registration links)
include the following:</p>
<p style="margin:3pt 0in 0.0001pt"><b><span style="color:rgb(0,112,192)"> </span></b></p>
<p style="margin:3pt 0in 0.0001pt"><b><span style="color:rgb(0,112,192)">Data, Data Everywhere and Not a Number to Teach!</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Broadcast time (EDT):</i></b> <b><i>Thursday, October 9, </i> Noon (12:00pm)</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Registration link:</i></b> <a href="https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8890560123762889730">https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8890560123762889730</a>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sifting through the many megabytes of data with which we are
bombarded each day takes practice. This webinar will focus on teaching students
how to evaluate the data with which they come in contact (think Joel
Best’s books…). We will also present a variety of sources for “numbers”
that can be used in teaching and examples of their use. Because working
with numerical evidence is as much or more a mindset as it is a set of
mathematical skills, the content should be especially helpful for faculty who
might otherwise consider themselves “non-quantitative.”</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Broadcast time (EDT):</i></b> <b><i>Thursday, October 9, </i> 2:00pm</b></p>

</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can “social research” and “fun” really go together? We all
know the value of social research and why learning methods is important, but
students are typically not as easily convinced. Learn how to use ICPSR’s
collection of data and tools to make your research methods course more
engaging. We will demonstrate how a variety of concepts – including some of the
less exciting ones like operationalization and sampling – can be taught using
real data and/or the tools built to support those data. </p>
