Education using Continental-Scale Data - an Interactive Conceptual Framework

The Education using Continental-scale Data conceptual framework is now available in a new interactive format!

The interactive tool, is designed to guide educators toward teaching opportunities and challenges using publically-available continental scale data and is based on input by faculty at  a workshop organized by ESA in partnership with NEON Inc. in 2008.  The purpose of the framework is to guide the user through the factors and considerations that go into designing a learning activity that uses continental-scale data.  

 The full concept map at a glance is available below in two formats.
