This volume is largely about nontraditional data; this paper is about a nontraditional visualization: classification trees. Using trees with data will be new to many students, so rather than beginning with a computer algorithm that produces optimal trees, we suggest that students first construct their own trees, one node at a time, to explore how…

The Titanic disaster is a topic that continues to fascinate. As the importance of analytics continues to grow in industry, data literacy skills have become increasingly important in business education. This project allows students to use the passenger data from the Titanic to build their data literacy skills using an engaging, experiential topic.…

There is a broad impetus across policy and institutional domains to expand public engagement and involvement with emerging technology research and innovation. Yet innovative theory, methods, and practices to critically explore algorithmic system controversies and democratic possibilities are still in nascent form. In this paper, we bring together…

Can leveraging an innovative approach to gathering information on co-curricular learning and learning outcomes assessment practices lead to impactful change? This question guided the implementation and operationalization of the Spartan Experience Record (SER) at Michigan State University (MSU). The SER both provides undergraduate students with a…

Instructional leadership is a complex dimension, which requires that principals possess expertise in goal setting, leading the instructional program, and creating the conditions for a successful school environment. Effective instructional leaders manage the instructional program by planning, coordinating, and evaluating the work of teachers and…

This introduction to Jupyter Notebooks (JNBs) is an outcome of a year of learning, creating, and classroom testing JNBs in a variety of settings: a sabbatical with an urban violence reduction organization; an after school distance learning program for low to middle income high school students in Chicago; a general education computer-lab based math…

Lipidomics is a discipline that focuses on the identification and quantification of lipids. Although a part of the larger omics field, lipidomics requires specific approaches for the analysis and biological interpretation of datasets. This article presents a series of activities for introducing undergraduate microbiology students to lipidomic…

Intelligent assessment, the core of any AI-based educational technology, is defined as embedded, stealth and ubiquitous assessment which uses intelligent techniques to diagnose the current cognitive level, monitor dynamic progress, predict success and update students' profiling continuously. It also uses various technologies, such as learning…

In this article, the author presents a short teaching sequence to show how to introduce young students in grades 3 (ages 8-9) and 4 (ages 9-10) to using digital tools for exploring larger and multivariate data sets. The teacher guided the young students from creating bar graphs in small data sets on embodied cognition and enactive levels to…

One of the biggest hurdles of teaching data science and programming techniques to beginners is simply getting started with the technology. With multiple versions of the same coding language available (e.g., Python 2 and Python 3), various additional libraries and packages to install, as well as integrated development environments to navigate, the…

Analyzing and interpreting data is essential to the practice of scientists and is also an essential science and engineering practice for science teaching and learning. Although working with data has benefits for student learning, it is also challenging, particularly with respect to aspects of work with data that are not yet very common in schools,…

Teaching introductory statistics is a service requirement for many mathematics faculty, and the audience is often anxious about the subject and not always excited about the material. Making class fun, relevant, and visually stimulating is key to keeping students engaged in the material and also in promoting student learning. Collecting data from…

Scientific computing and computer literacy are increasingly important skills for chemistry students to learn, but despite this need, there is an absence of chemistry-specific texts available for teaching the subject. This article introduces a freely available textbook released under a Creative Commons license for use in an undergraduate scientific…

This article presents the design of a pedagogical method to produce interactive learning objects that allow users to learn about new statistical process control techniques, such as Data Mining, in order to address the curricular needs of college students enrolled in academic programs related to quality engineering. Acquiring skills in this type of…

The Korean Society for Educational Technology (KSET) hosted its second panel discussion partnering with the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) at the 2019 AECT Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. A total of four panelists, two from Korea and two from the U.S., participated in the discussion on the trends of educational…
