If you’ve hit the point in the semester where your classes have fallen into routines and you’d like to spice things up a bit, this webinar is for you! Inquiry-based learning is becoming an academic buzz-word as instructors continue to find that this technique promotes greater student interest and learning. We will show how to use resources in TeachingWithData.org to bring inquiry into social science courses beyond research methods. (Maybe we’ll even slip in some hints about using it in methods/statistics courses as well!) Resources demonstrated will be easy to use and fit within almost any course structure.
The webinar in scheduled for Wednesday, February 23, 2011, from 1 to 2 pm ET. Registration is open for this webinar, which is free and open to the public.
