FW: New interactive Data Skills Modules launched

John F Hall

A beta version of new interactive teaching modules using survey and other data has just been released by the UK Data Service, who would like comments and feedback on them.  Some modules use PSPP and SPSS to manage and analyse data.  SRMS and SPSS listers who use survey and "big" data in teaching will find them interesting, as will researchers and students.  They can be accessed via the main menu:

·        Hi all

·         

·        We hope these Data Skills Modules will be useful for those teaching quants methods (in practical sessions or for pre-reading/self-learning for students). They have been designed by UK Data Service staff with academic teaching experience along with an e-learning technologist.

·         

  • We’d really like feedback or suggestions from the teaching community so please let us know what you think on [hidden email] .

·         

·        We’d also be grateful if you could circulate to your networks as widely as possible.

Best wishes

Vanessa

We are excited to announce the launch of our new online teaching resource which introduce data to non-experts via easy-to-use interactive Data Skills Modules https://www.ukdataservice.ac.uk/use-data/data-skills-modules . These will give those new to research a solid grounding in the key skills they'll need to make full use of our rich data resources as they embark on their projects.

Launched as beta versions the Data Skills Modules are aimed at anyone who wants to learn more about using:

  • Survey data
  • Longitudinal data
  • Aggregate data

These introductory level modules are designed for those who want to get to grips with key aspects of the data, showing you how to use the data and offering short instructional videos, interactive quizzes and activities to test your knowledge. You can conduct the modules in your own time, and dip in and out around your schedule. We also use open access software where possible.

We hope these modules will be useful and we encourage feedback and suggestions for enhancements and further modules.

Annette
