Overview of the Presentation
• Why should I care about this?• Why does ICPSR care about
undergraduate education?• Who else cares, and why? • So… get to the tools already!
– Specifically for the classroom– Adapting general ICPSR features for
teaching
• The reward: Student opportunities

I just came for the free lunch…
• Two purposes of this presentation– Sharing what is going on in Instructional
Resources & Development • Lynette Hoelter, Sue Hodge, Andrea Benjamin,
Frederique Laubepin, Christopher Ward
– Introducing tools that can be shared when doing booth exhibits, ICPSR presentations, and even writing proposals

Why Undergrad Education?
• More ICPSR usage by undergrads • Focus on quantitative literacy• Faculty familiar with ICPSR but unsure
how to introduce data to undergraduates
• Desire to be useful to a broader range of types of institutions (BA, community colleges)
![Page 5: ICPSR: Resources for Use in Undergraduate Instruction](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052617/5469d0c3af7959ff128b52fa/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Who Cares?
• Faculty– Desire to use data in instruction but many barriers
• Funders– Creates a larger potential audience for data
collection efforts
• (First-year) Students– Brings course content to life
Response at conferences/on campuses shows much interest

Why Bother with Data?
• Including research/data analysis– Piques student interest– Engages students with the discipline
more fully • prevents some of the feeling of
“disconnect” between substantive and technical courses
– Fosters quantitative literacy skills

Potential Obstacles
• Large classes• Finding appropriate data and
creating exercises• Examples that don’t “work” in class• Student access to/knowledge of
statistical software
