Activity 3: Education Data Portal (from EPIC SoW)
Goal: Make scientific data collections broadly accessible to the national community, with a particular emphasis on making data collections accessible and usable by high-school and undergraduate science teachers.
Lead: Anke Kamrath
Participants: Natasha Balac, Jesus Castegnetto
EOT Team Leverage: Leverage SDSC’s data applications staff expertise, established data collections, and storage resources to bring this project to fruition quickly (e.g., 1 year time-frame).
Audience: High-school and undergraduate science teachers
Overview: SDSC houses many scientific data collections. This effort will focus on three key deliverables:
Task 3a: Development of general web-based interface to support broad community access to SDSC’s community data collections and databases. As appropriate we will integrate with and develop relevant metadata with key educationally-oriented digital library efforts, including CDL, NSDL and DLESE.
-
Task 3b: Evaluate several large-scale data efforts (GEON, NEES, BIRN, PDB) to identify common access modes to facilitate use by high-school and undergraduate teachers. A prototype collection will be selected and a prototype education portal interface will be developed. This portal and the use thereof will be integrated into the TeacherTECH program described above.
-
Task 3c: Coordinate with the NSDL to register relevant SDSC data collections to provide broad access to the national educational community.
