The Ocean Observing Initiative (OOI) Education and Public Engagement (EPE) Implementing Organization was established and tasked with bringing professionally collected, real and near real time data, images, and video of our Earth's oceans into both formal and informal learning environments and providing a new layer of cyber-interactivity for educators. In order to correctly focus development of educational tools, the PIs ran two front-end evaluation studies on the practices and teaching needs of the oceanographic community. While 73% of undergraduate professors said they use data in their classroom, only a small subset use real-time data with their students. Most importantly, it was determined that there is a need for further exploration into how to effectively integrate data into teaching and how to create data visualization tools that help undergraduate professors meet the demands of teaching 21st century science skills and practices.The PIs propose to lead a workshop that will engage diverse institutions, including community colleges, Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs), Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs), research laboratories, and larger research universities in an pilot intensive hands-on effort focused on developing effective teaching with data practices using OOI data assets and data visualizations tools. Participants will continue engagement virtually after the workshop as the workshop report and materials related to OOI are developed. Workshop Objectives:1) Crosswalk OOI Science themes presented in popular introductory textbooks used in oceanography courses. Partcipants will compare themes and concepts in the OOI scientific themes document and popular published textbooks to triangulate where OOI data investigations/activities can be woven into existing courses.2) Develop learning objectives and activity outlines of 5 data investigations (one per team) that could be developed when OOI data is available and accessible. 3) Brainstorm with the teams how best to build a community of practice with long-term working relationships and collaborations on data investigation development.The results of this workshop will make OOI data more accessible and useful for undergraduate education activities.

成立了海洋观测倡议教育和公众参与执行组织，其任务是将专业收集的、真实的和接近真实的时间的地球海洋数据、图像和视频纳入正式和非正式的学习环境，并为教育工作者提供一个新的网络互动层。为了正确地集中开发教育工具，PI对海洋学界的实践和教学需求进行了两次前端评估研究。虽然73%的本科教授表示他们在课堂上使用数据，但只有一小部分教授与学生一起使用实时数据。最重要的是，它确定有必要进一步探索如何有效地将数据整合到教学中，以及如何创建数据可视化工具，帮助本科教授满足21世纪世纪科学技能和实践教学的需求。PI建议领导一个研讨会，将吸引不同的机构，包括社区学院，小学本科院校（PUI），少数民族服务机构（MSI），研究实验室和大型研究型大学在试点密集的实践工作，重点是开发有效的教学与数据实践使用OOI数据资产和数据可视化工具。在研讨会结束后，与会者将继续虚拟参与，因为研讨会报告和与OOI相关的材料已经制定。研讨会目标：1）Crosswalk OOI海洋学课程中使用的流行入门教科书中的科学主题。Partcipants将比较主题和概念在OOI的科学主题文件和流行的出版教科书，以三角OOI数据调查/活动可以编织到现有的courses.2）制定学习目标和活动大纲的5个数据调查（每队一个），可以开发时，OOI数据可用和访问。3)与团队一起集思广益，如何最好地建立一个实践社区，建立长期的工作关系，并在数据调查开发方面进行合作。本次研讨会的结果将使OOI数据更容易获得，对本科教育活动更有用。
