Facilitating the effective use of earth science data in education through digital libraries: bridging the gap between scientists and educators Tamara Shapiro Ledley, LuAnn Dahlman, Ben Domenico, and Michael R. Taber   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Poster Session Abstract Creating learning modules that utilize Earth data is a difficult task, requiring knowledge about the data, science, curriculum design, and the educational context. The Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE) Data Services group hosted a workshop to bridge the knowledge gap between data providers and educators by assembling teams of experts in these areas to create data-rich learning modules. Face-to-face collaboration allowed the sharing of perspectives and encouraged the contribution of individual expertise, facilitating development of data-rich modules.
