Numeric Data as a Teaching Tool

The Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) has launched the Online Learning Center (OLC), a resource for teaching faculty who want to incorporate quantitative literacy into their courses. The OLC contains data-driven learning guides that can be incorporated into course curriculum where appropriate. At this time, guides are available for political science, sociology, and social psychology topics. If you have any questions about ICPSR and the OLC, please contact your official representative, Jennifer Darragh.
