Teaching Modules

Are you an educator interested in teaching ecological concepts and data skills using hands-on data activities? NEON teaching modules include lesson outlines, curated datasets, and data skills activities to teach essential data skills and ecological concepts.

Open Educational Resources on QUBES Hub

Open Educational Resources (OERs) are freely accessible teaching modules, data sets, and media that enable faculty to easily find and implement data-centered, student-centric materials as needed for their own students. OERs using NEON data or protocols are hosted by the Quantitative Undergraduate Biology Education and Synthesis project (QUBES). NEON-focused OERs are a collaborative effort between scientists from the NEON program and university and college faculty interested in using NEON data. Using the QUBES collaboration and education materials sharing platform, faculty provide OERs using NEON data or protocols for anyone to use or adapt.
