Teaching Tools
Using real-life, regularly updated data in teaching adds interest and relevance to courses, and helps to prepare students for using statistics in the real world. These Teaching Tools are designed for lecturers, initially in economics (though other disciplines will be included as the resource develops) who are using real data for the first time in their teaching.
Developed as a result of the The Real World: Real Data: Real Stories project, the Teaching Tools are intended to support and encourage lecturers' use of real world data in their courses - by seeing examples of how this is already done in UK institutions and hearing actual lecturers speak about their experience of using this type of 'messy' real-world data in their teaching.
The materials include a Getting Started section with an e-tutorial on registering, a guide to registering and FAQs, a Teaching Tools section which includes sample course plans, step by step guides and examples of student work and a Hear from real lecturers section with video footage of lecturers talking about why it's so important to use 'real' data in teaching and their experience of using data from ESDS International in their Economics courses.
